Partly granted
The Board granted a 50% disability rating for depressive disorder from May 26, 2015 to April 26, 2022, and denied a higher rating of 70%, while also granting TDIU for the period from April 5, 2016 to October 26, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's depressive disorder caused occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but not deficiencies in most areas or total occupational and social impairment during the relevant periods.
