Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of service connection for PTSD to July 20, 2021, and a 10 percent rating for chronic diarrhea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued the claim for entitlement to service connection for a psychiatric disorder since the July 20, 2021, Intent to File, and the evidence showed frequent episodes of bowel disturbance with abdominal distress for the chronic diarrhea.
