Dismissed
The appeal concerning higher ratings for PTSD was withdrawn, and the appeal for an earlier effective date of June 23, 2015, for DEA benefits was granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran withdrew his appeal for higher ratings for PTSD, but he is entitled to an earlier effective date of June 23, 2015, for DEA benefits due to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) awarded in the same decision.
