Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a total rating due to service-connected coronary artery disease as of December 6, 2018. A TDIU is warranted from November 24, 2014, and an evaluation greater than 50 percent for general anxiety disorder before October 8, 2024, was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as of November 24, 2014, but the symptoms of his generalized anxiety disorder did not manifest as total occupational and social impairment before October 8, 2024.
