Granted
The Veteran's service-connected persistent depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder preclude substantial gainful employment, so a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran meets the percentage threshold requirements for TDIU and his service-connected disabilities render him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.
