Denied
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 30 percent for the Veteran's unspecified depressive disorder and remanded a claim for service connection for sleep disturbances.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, as they more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks.
