The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating higher than 30 percent for panic disorder and major depressive disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with the criteria for a 30 percent rating, and there was no evidence of more severe impairment as required for a higher rating.
