Denied
The Board denied the claim for a disability rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD prior to January 23, 2025.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increase in the disability rating before the date of the claim due to insufficient evidence of worsening symptoms within the one-year period preceding the claim.
