Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 70% evaluation of unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder was denied. However, the veteran was granted TDIU from September 20, 2019, to September 25, 2022, and an effective date of September 20, 2019, for DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support an earlier effective date for the 70% evaluation but met the criteria for TDIU and DEA benefits.
