The Veteran's other trauma and stressor related disorder has been granted a disability rating of 70 percent, effective October 3, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most nearly approximate those that warrant a 70 percent rating throughout the period on appeal due to deficiencies in most areas including difficulty adapting to stressful circumstances and impaired impulse control.
