The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the Veteran's adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood, but denied an initial compensable rating for allergic rhinitis. The claim for service connection for a liver condition was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of symptoms related to the acquired psychiatric disorder, which most closely approximated the criteria for a 70 percent rating, while there was no evidence supporting a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis. The claim for service connection for a liver condition was remanded due to pre-decisional errors.
