Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for a low back condition was granted, and a 100% rating for major depressive disorder with anxious distress was also granted. The claim for total disability based on individual unemployability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported service connection for the low back condition and a 100% rating for major depressive disorder, resolving doubts in favor of the veteran.
