Granted
The Veteran's service-connected depressive disorder with anxious distress alone render him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment, and a TDIU is granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence suggests that the Veteran's depression, lack of motivation, low energy level, and feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness hinder efforts to complete on-the-job tasks, rendering him unemployable for all types of gainful employment.
