Partly granted
The Veteran's PTSD was granted a 50 percent evaluation effective March 27, 2024. The claims for service connection for degenerative arthritis of the right hand, left ankle strain, and right knee strain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 50 percent evaluation from March 27, 2024, but did not meet the criteria for an increased rating from October 15, 2019 to March 27, 2024.
