Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for adjustment disorder with anxiety but granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as of April 30, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity and frequency, but his service-connected disabilities prevented him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and work history.
