Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety, depressed mood and bruxism due to the severity of symptoms including suicidal thoughts and ideations.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms, chiefly his brief fleeting thoughts of suicide, are suggestive of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating.
