Granted
The Veteran's service-connected major depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder has prevented him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful occupation. Therefore, the Board granted entitlement to total disability due to individual unemployability (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance that his service-connected MDD with GAD rendered him unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment.
