Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation greater than 50 percent for major depressive disorder with insomnia disorder, finding the Veteran's symptoms were adequately represented by a 50 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder symptoms did not demonstrate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas as required for a higher rating.
