Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 70 percent for major depressive disorder, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be consistent with occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas without total occupational and social impairment, which does not warrant a rating in excess of 70 percent under the General Rating Formula for Psychiatric Disabilities.
