Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD was found to have rendered him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment from July 17, 2017 to April 26, 2022, but his tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss did not prevent him from doing so after April 27, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance that the Veteran's PTSD rendered him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment during the period prior to April 27, 2022, but not for the period from April 27, 2022.
