Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected PTSD is granted a total disability rating from July 3, 2024. An earlier effective date prior to July 2, 2024, for the grant of service connection for PTSD was denied.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment throughout the appeal period, warranting a 100 percent rating. An earlier effective date prior to July 2, 2024, was not supported by the evidence of record.
