Partly granted
The Veteran's anxiety disorder is granted a 70 percent rating, and TDIU is denied. Several service connection claims are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of suicidal ideation and other psychiatric symptoms justify the 70 percent rating for his anxiety disorder, but total occupational and social impairment is not shown to warrant a higher rating. The evidence does not support entitlement to TDIU due to his service-connected disabilities.
