Granted
The Veteran's self-employment from April 28, 2010 onward constituted marginal employment and his service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rendered him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment.
The deciding factor: The economic component of the unemployability was satisfied as the Veteran earned more than the poverty threshold for one person. The noneconomic component was also met due to significant psychiatric symptoms that prevented the Veteran from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
