Partly granted
The Board denied an effective date prior to July 16, 2019, for the grant of service connection for PTSD and granted a 50 percent disability rating for PTSD prior to December 30, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity prior to December 30, 2021, but did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment on and after that date.
