Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 2, 2020, but not earlier, for the award of a 70 percent rating for PTSD and also granted an effective date from August 2, 2020, for TDIU.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability was factually ascertainable within one year prior to the Veteran's claim, thus warranting an earlier effective date under 38 C.F.R. § 3.400(o)(2).
