Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 13, 2016, for the award of service connection for PTSD and a disability rating of 100 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was pending since 2016 due to her character of discharge being 'other than honorable,' but this was later upgraded. The evidence shows total occupational and social impairment, warranting the maximum 100 percent rating.
