Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 10, 2021, for the award of a 70 percent rating and TDIU due to service-connected depressive disorder with anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psychiatric disability had continuously worsened since the last rating decision in August 2012, warranting an earlier effective date based on the evidence of record.
