Granted
The Veteran is granted an earlier effective date of June 30, 2020, for a 70 percent rating for PTSD and TDIU, as well as DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: It was factually ascertainable that there was worsening within the one-year lookback period, warranting an earlier effective date for the 70 percent rating for PTSD, which in turn established eligibility for TDIU and DEA benefits from June 30, 2020.
