Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 70 percent rating of PTSD, finding that it is not factually ascertainable that her condition warranted such a rating prior to July 26, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show deficiencies in most areas due to symptoms like impaired impulse control or neglect of personal appearance and hygiene before the effective date of July 26, 2022.
