Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for persistent depressive disorder and entitlement to TDIU, as there was no evidence showing that these conditions were related to his military service or that they rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show that the Veteran's persistent depressive disorder manifested in service or is otherwise related to his military service. Additionally, there was no evidence showing that he met the criteria for TDIU based on his service-connected conditions.
