Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher initial rating, an earlier effective date for increased compensation, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the veteran's unspecified depressive disorder manifested as occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the relevant period prior to October 25, 2022.
