Partly granted
The Board denied earlier effective dates for service connection and ratings, but granted a 70% initial rating for depressive disorder from January 22, 2021 to August 26, 2021.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record at the time of the December 2021 AOJ decision and the criteria for assigning disability ratings.
