Granted
The Veteran is entitled to an effective date of February 9, 2021, but no earlier, for a 100 percent disability evaluation for service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the increase in the Veteran's service-connected PTSD symptoms can be traced back to February 9, 2021, which is one year prior to the date of receipt of the intent to file.
