Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 70 percent for major depressive disorder with ADHD but granted a TDIU from August 17, 2022, to June 5, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating, but his service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment during the relevant period.
