Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 70 percent for the Veteran's service-connected PTSD, effective June 24, 2019. The earlier effective date claim was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those required for a 70 percent rating, including impaired impulse control and suicidal ideation, but did not meet the criteria for a higher 100 percent rating.
