Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for the grant of a 70 percent evaluation for major depressive disorder, PTSD, and panic disorder without agoraphobia has been withdrawn by the Veteran's attorney.
The deciding factor: The appeal was withdrawn as it was considered that a July 2025 rating decision granted an earlier effective date, which satisfied the benefits sought.
