Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, effective April 11, 2024. The claims for service connection for panic disorder and PTSD were denied.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated a 70 percent rating under the criteria, but not higher. There was no evidence supporting current diagnoses of panic disorder or PTSD.
