Granted

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have been sufficiently disabling as to render him unable to maintain substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and occupational background from September 27, 2021, to March 24, 2024.

The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities in combination have precluded the Veteran from securing or following substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and occupational experience.
