The Board granted a 30 percent rating for an unspecified anxiety disorder and denied a higher rating, while also denying a rating in excess of 10 percent for a neck scar.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks due to the anxiety disorder, but not enough to warrant a higher rating. The neck scar was found to be stable without any significant functional limitations.
