Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating and earlier effective date for his service-connected PTSD with TBI residuals, as well as for an earlier effective date for eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of improvement in symptoms that would warrant a reduction from 100 percent to 70 percent or a higher rating, and the veteran was not found to be unemployable prior to June 15, 2021.
