Granted
The Board granted an initial 100 percent rating for the Veteran's unspecified depressive disorder and a 30 percent rating, but no higher, for bilateral plantar fasciitis from August 29, 2022.
The deciding factor: The symptoms of the Veteran's unspecified depressive disorder more nearly approximated total occupational and social impairment, while the symptoms of his bilateral plantar fasciitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating but warranted a 30 percent rating from August 29, 2022.
