Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 70 percent for major depressive disorder (MDD) because the symptoms did not manifest in total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's ability to function in a demanding occupation environment despite depressive symptoms imposing a decrease in efficiency at times.
