The Veteran's generalized anxiety disorder was granted a disability rating of 70 percent, but no higher, on and after February 3, 2024. The other claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms most nearly approximated those warranting a 70 percent rating for generalized anxiety disorder due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational or social impairment.
