Granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 30, 2024, for the award of a 70 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms warranting the 70 percent rating were present throughout the period on appeal, supporting an earlier effective date.
