Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a 70 percent rating for PTSD, finding no evidence that the increase in severity occurred prior to June 18, 2020.
The deciding factor: The record did not show symptoms required for a higher rating within a year before the June 18, 2020, examination date.
