The veteran's depression with psychosis has been rated at 100 percent, the highest schedular rating available. The lumbosacral strain remains at a 10 percent evaluation. The claim for individual unemployability is granted as the veteran cannot maintain any gainful employment due to his psychiatric condition.
The deciding factor: The veteran's depression with psychosis has resulted in total social and industrial impairment, meeting the criteria for a 100 percent rating under the amended rating schedule.
