Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD but granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD throughout the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence is against the claim for an earlier effective date, and the Veteran's symptoms warrant a 70 percent rating under the criteria for occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.
