Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a higher rating for their unspecified depressive disorder, concluding that the symptoms did not warrant a rating higher than 30 percent.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 30 percent rating rather than a 50 percent or higher rating.
