Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for depressive disorder and remanded the claims for a higher rating for headache syndrome and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, as they did not result in deficiencies in most areas of occupational and social impairment.
