Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's traumatic brain injury and depressive disorder, finding that the current ratings of 10 percent and 50 percent were appropriate.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
