Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for major depressive disorder and dismissed the appeals for increased rating of migraine headaches and service connection for a right elbow disability, while remanding claims for erectile dysfunction and neck condition.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing reduced reliability and productivity in occupational and social situations due to symptoms associated with major depressive disorder, and the Veteran's explicit withdrawal of the other issues.
