Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 5, 2015, for the award of service connection for psychiatric disability and a rating of 70 percent as of July 19, 2017, but denied a higher rating thereafter.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was supported by new and material evidence submitted within one year of the initial denial in December 2015, warranting an earlier effective date. The psychiatric disability met criteria for a 70 percent rating as of July 19, 2017.
