Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of a 70 percent rating for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, as it was factually ascertainable that such a rating was not warranted prior to April 29, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the requisite degree of occupational and social impairment as to award a higher rating prior to the current effective date of April 29, 2022.
