Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a higher rating for depressive disorder, stating that the symptoms did not warrant a rating higher than 30 percent before March 17, 2022, and 50 percent after.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those of a 30 percent rating rather than a 50 percent or higher rating.
