Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of March 6, 2022, for the assignment of a 70 percent rating for service-connected PTSD and 20 percent ratings for left and right lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor, the evidence established that his symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for higher ratings since March 6, 2022.
