Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due solely to his service-connected major depressive disorder (MDD) for the period from February 19, 2019 onward and special monthly compensation at the housebound rate from February 19, 2019 to September 4, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran is unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation due solely to his service-connected MDD disability.
