Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for major depressive disorder, restored a 40% rating for the lumbar spine condition, and granted TDIU. Several claims were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the evidence is in approximate balance that the Veteran's major depressive disorder is related to an in-service motor vehicle accident.
