Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent initial disability rating for depressive disorder with anxiety and service connection for insomnia, while denying service connection for OSA and plantar fascitis.
The deciding factor: There was an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding the Veteran's claims, leading to the grant or denial based on the criteria outlined in 38 C.F.R. § 4.130 and 38 U.S.C. § 1110.
