Partly granted
The Board granted a 40 percent rating for PTSD with TBI from March 12, 2020 to January 4, 2022 and denied an effective date earlier than January 5, 2022 for the 70 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms warranted a 40 percent rating under the TBI Table but not higher due to the absence of more severe cognitive impairment or other significant functional deficits.
