Partly granted
The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD with prolonged grief disorder and denied an effective date prior to November 22, 2022, for the award of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms most closely align with the criteria for a 70 percent rating, but no earlier effective date was warranted as his intent to file was received on November 22, 2022.
