Granted
The Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability precluded his ability to maintain substantially gainful employment prior to August 31, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's anger, irritability, and mood issues would likely negatively impact interactions with customers/clients, co-workers, and/or supervisors, thus preventing him from obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
