The veteran's PTSD rating was increased to 70% due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.

The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and higher ratings before August 9, 2021, was denied. A rating of 70% from August 9, 2021, through August 21, 2022, was granted. The veteran was also granted TDIU effective August 9, 2021.

The veteran's effective date for service connection of PTSD has been granted as March 8, 1995.

The Board remanded the case to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and to determine the nature and etiology of any acquired psychiatric disorder.
