Granted
The Veteran's effective date for the 100 percent rating of PTSD with MDD was granted as of September 6, 2023, due to a factually ascertainable increase in disability during the one-year look back period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was an increase in the Veteran's PTSD symptoms on or before November 18, 2022, which is within the one-year look-back period prior to her TDIU application filed on November 18, 2023.
