Partly granted
The Veteran's initial rating for persistent depressive disorder with unspecified anxiety disorder was granted at 100 percent, and the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The Veteran exhibited total occupational and social impairment throughout the course of the appeal, warranting a 100 percent rating for his psychiatric disorder. The award of a 100 percent rating rendered the issue of TDIU moot.
