Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher rating for his service-connected generalized anxiety disorder, finding that the severity of his symptoms did not warrant a disability rating in excess of 70 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 70 percent rating and resulted in occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment as required for a 100 percent rating.
