Granted
The Board granted a 70 percent initial rating for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with major depressive disorder (MDD), finding that the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms produce occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a 70 percent rating due to the Veteran's GAD with MDD causing occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, but not total occupational and social impairment.
