The Board granted a 70 percent disability rating for the Veteran's unspecified depressive disorder, finding that his symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms associated with his depressive disorder more nearly approximated an occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas during the appeal period; his mental health disability did not more nearly approximate a total occupational and social impairment.
