Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent for MDD with GAD from December 8, 2021, to March 9, 2022, and denied an increased rating in excess of 50 percent thereafter.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate deficiencies in most areas or total social and occupational impairment during the relevant periods.
