Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 70 percent for PTSD effective August 10, 2021, but denied a higher initial rating and an earlier effective date for the assignment of a 100 percent disability evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms from January 9, 2020, to August 9, 2020, did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 30 percent; however, as of August 10, 2021, his symptoms warranted a 70 percent rating.
