Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's depressive disorder as it did not result in occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded that the Veteran's symptoms were not severe enough to interfere with occupational and social functioning or require continuous medication, and there was insufficient evidence post-service to warrant a higher rating.
