Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, but denied an increased rating for depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment, but he was unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation because of his service-connected disabilities.
