Partly granted
The Veteran's major depression with anxious distress was granted a rating of 70 percent, while the claim for TDIU prior to May 20, 2023 was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most nearly approximated deficiencies in most areas of work, school, family relationships, thinking, judgment, and mood, warranting a 70 percent rating. However, the evidence did not establish that he was unemployable due to service-connected disabilities prior to May 20, 2023.
