Partly granted
The Board restored the previous 70 percent rating for persistent depressive disorder with anxious distress and denied a rating in excess of 70 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's disability had materially improved, thus supporting the restoration of the 70 percent rating but denying an increase to 100 percent.
