Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder and remanded claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms warranted a higher rating, while the claims for OSA and hypertension were to be further reviewed by the AOJ.
