Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 10, 2024, for the increased 70 percent rating for an acquired psychiatric disability but denied an earlier effective date for DEA based on permanent and total disability status.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability was ascertainable after the filing of a supplemental claim, not before, supporting the June 10, 2024, effective date. However, no evidence supported basic eligibility for DEA prior to November 14, 2024.
