The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for any of the conditions appealed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. However, there was no evidence of total occupational and social impairment to justify a higher rating. For service connection claims, the evidence did not support diagnoses or etiologies related to any of the claimed conditions.
