Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate with anxious distress.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show total occupational and social impairment during the period on appeal, which is required for a rating higher than 70 percent.
