Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of March 10, 2021, for a 70 percent rating for PTSD and denied an increased disability rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and service connection for residuals of latent tuberculosis (now also claimed as lung condition).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms from January 10, 2022, represented occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. However, there was not enough evidence to support an increased rating or service connection for the lung condition.
