Granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent disability rating for PTSD effective November 9, 2018 and earlier effective dates of May 25, 2019 for TDIU and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms warranted a higher initial rating and that she had been continuously pursuing her claim since service connection was established in November 2018.
