Partly granted
The Board denied an increased disability rating of 100 percent for PTSD, persistent depressive disorder, and cannabis use disorder but granted service connection for generalized anxiety disorder and somatic symptom disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for a 100 percent rating. However, there was evidence supporting the grant of service connection for generalized anxiety disorder and somatic symptom disorder based on their relation to his service-connected conditions.
