Granted
The Board granted service connection for headaches as secondary to major depressive disorder with anxious distress, a 100% disability rating for the major depressive disorder, and entitlement to TDIU and SMC at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache disorder is related to his service-connected major depressive disorder with anxious distress, and the symptoms of his major depressive disorder are productive of total occupational and social impairment.
