Granted
The Veteran's service-connected CAD with associated atrial fibrillation, chronic congestive heart failure, and valvular angina precluded all substantially gainful employment from January 27, 2015 to March 3, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's symptoms and impairments associated with his service-connected CAD significantly interfered with his ability to secure and follow any type of substantially gainful employment.
