Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased evaluation of adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depression, finding that her symptoms did not more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with a 50 percent rating rather than a higher one.
