Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of October 17, 2017, for the assignment of a 60 percent rating for dermatitis and denied a rating in excess of 60 percent. The Veteran was granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD prior to July 23, 2018, but had his claim for an increased rating from that date denied. From October 2, 2023, the Veteran is entitled to special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on factual ascertainability of a worsening condition and the application of relevant rating criteria.
