Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of April 21, 2023, for a 70 percent rating for PTSD and an award of service connection for OSA, and August 10, 2022, for an award of service connection for chronic sinusitis with allergic rhinitis as due to in-service participation in a TERA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued his claims since April 21, 2023, which is within one year of the enactment of the PACT Act, and thus these dates are appropriate effective dates.
