Granted
The Veteran's service-connected persistent depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder has rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, and he is entitled to TDIU and special monthly compensation from May 28, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's service-connected persistent depressive disorder alone renders him unable to obtain or maintain employment due to symptoms affecting his ability to function independently and effectively in a work environment.
