Granted
The Veteran is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and special monthly compensation (SMC) at the housebound rate, both effective January 14, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected adjustment disorder alone prevented him from obtaining and maintaining gainful employment since January 14, 2023, and he has other service-connected disabilities rated at least 60 percent that are separate and distinct.
