Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for service-connected PTSD from November 14, 2022, but denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for the same condition from March 19, 2018 to November 13, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas as of November 14, 2022, but not prior to that date.
