Denied
The Board denied the appeals for an earlier effective date for a 70 percent rating for GAD and TDIU, as the evidence did not support a higher rating prior to August 1, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 70 percent rating until August 1, 2022, based on the severity, frequency, and duration of his symptoms.
