Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of the 70% rating for unspecified depressive disorder with anxious distress and denied an initial disability rating in excess of 70% and a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The reduction was improper as there was no actual improvement shown under ordinary conditions of daily life and work, and the Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
