Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 22, 2022, for the grant of a 70 percent rating for PTSD, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance on whether it is factually ascertainable that the Veteran met the criteria for a 70 percent rating as of June 22, 2022, based on the opinions from Dr. J.M. and the Veteran's reported symptoms.
