Partly granted
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 50 percent for the Veteran's service-connected acquired psychiatric disability but granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating, but his service-connected disabilities precluded him from securing and following substantially gainful employment.
