Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 70 percent for major depressive disorder with anxious distress, but no greater. The claim for total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating.
