Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for the Veteran's adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression, finding that the evidence supports occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to symptoms such as suicidal ideation, impaired impulse control, grossly inappropriate behavior, and intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living.
The deciding factor: The Board assigned greater evidentiary weight to Dr. C.'s April 2022 examination report than the May 2022 VA examination, finding that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran was experiencing symptoms causing occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
