Granted
The Veteran's major depressive disorder with alcohol use disorder is granted a 70 percent disability rating, and TDIU is granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, supporting the 70 percent rating. The evidence did not show total social or occupational impairment to warrant a 100 percent rating.
