The Board granted a 70 percent rating for panic disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and remanded the claims for service connection for migraines and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of near-continuous panic or depression affecting his ability to function independently, along with difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances and impaired impulse control, warranted a 70 percent rating. The Board found the evidence insufficient to support a higher rating but adequate for the remanded claims.
