Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date than January 9, 2023, for the assignment of a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran met the criteria for a 70 percent disability rating prior to January 9, 2023, as his symptoms did not cause occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas until that date.
