Partly granted
The Board denied an increased evaluation for the Veteran's unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder, granted TDIU based solely on the same condition, and granted special monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1114 (s).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating but reasonably demonstrated that the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder rendered them unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
