The veteran's anxiety neurosis with depression is rated at 70 percent, but he does not meet the criteria for a higher rating. His TDIU claim was denied as his service-connected disability alone did not render him unemployable. The right eye condition denial from October 1946 remains final.
The deciding factor: The veteran's anxiety neurosis with depression is rated at 70 percent, which is the maximum schedular rating for this condition. His TDIU claim was denied because his service-connected disability alone did not render him unemployable. The right eye condition denial from October 1946 remains final as he did not file a timely appeal.
