Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for his service-connected major depressive disorder, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms and resulting occupational and social impairment were found to be less than total, as he remained employed throughout the appellate period and maintained some relationships.
