Denied
The Board denied the claims for earlier effective dates, increased ratings, and service connection due to a lack of evidence supporting earlier dates or higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The weight of the probative evidence failed to demonstrate that the Veteran's PTSD was manifested by total occupational and social impairment prior to March 11, 2020, or that his bilateral hearing loss warranted a compensable rating prior to March 11, 2020.
