The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for the service-connected unspecified anxiety disorder with insomnia disorder, as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were consistent with occupational and social impairment with occasional decreases in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, which aligned with the criteria for a 30 percent rating but not for a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
