You can claim just about anything but validating service connection will be the requirement and main hurdle. I have seen several veterans get diagnosed with some variation of anxiety.

Yes: "The VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) rates Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) under diagnostic code 9400, with ratings from 0% to 100% based on the severity of occupational and social impairment, not just diagnosis, covering symptoms like constant worry, fatigue, concentration issues, and restlessness that interfere with work and life. To get benefits, veterans need a current diagnosis, proof of an in-service event/injury, and a medical nexus connecting the two. Ratings reflect total impairment (100%), significant deficits (70%), reduced productivity (50%), occasional impairment (30%), mild stress-related issues (10%), or no functional impact (0%). "
