Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date than October 2, 2020, for the 100 percent evaluation assigned for service-connected PTSD and major depression.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence to show that an increase in the Veteran's disability was factually ascertainable before March 2022, which corresponds to a VA examination for (Review) PTSD.
