Granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent disability rating for the veteran's adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the appellant's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, which is supported by private treatment records, the appellant's lay statements, and the June 2024 VA examination.
