Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher disability rating was denied, but they were granted TDIU and SMC at the housebound rate due to their service-connected depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms and the criteria for establishing entitlement to TDIU and SMC.
