Granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and major vascular neurocognitive disorder with behavioral disturbance precluded him from obtaining or maintaining gainful employment from February 19, 2013, to February 27, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was at least in equipoise as to the question of the Veteran's ability to secure and maintain a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities prior to February 28, 2019.
