Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 50 percent for adjustment disorder, finding the Veteran's symptoms more closely resembled those warranting a 50 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as they were not indicative of occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
