Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for a 70 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder and individual unemployability, finding that the evidence did not support an earlier effective date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the symptoms giving rise to the 70 percent rating for PTSD and the Veteran's unemployability due to service-connected disabilities did not become factually ascertainable during the one-year period immediately preceding the May 26, 2021 claim.
