Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 9, 2023, for the grant of service connection for erectile dysfunction and denied a higher initial disability rating for PTSD with daytime hypersomnolence and insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's continuous pursuit of his claim within one year of discharge supported the earlier effective date. The evidence did not show occupational or social impairment equivalent to a higher rating for PTSD.
