Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the award of a higher rating for PTSD, TDIU, and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that an increase in disability consistent with the higher ratings was factually ascertainable within the year immediately preceding the receipt of the claims.
