Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 5, 2019, for the award of a 70 percent rating for PTSD but denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms aligned with occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas as of June 5, 2019, warranting a 70 percent rating, but did not meet this criteria at any time before that date.
