Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for major depressive disorder, right fibrocystic breast disease, and tinea pedis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's conditions more closely approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas or other criteria necessary to warrant a higher rating.
