Granted
The Board granted an initial 70 percent rating for PTSD and an effective date of August 8, 2023, for the award of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated deficiencies in most areas due to occupational and social impairment, warranting a 70 percent rating. The evidence indicated that the Veteran had a mental disorder related to his active service since August 8, 2023.
