Granted
The veteran's claim for an effective date of February 14, 2022, for a 70 percent rating for PTSD is granted. The evidence shows that the veteran's PTSD symptoms were severe enough to warrant this rating as of that date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the severity, frequency, and duration of the veteran's psychiatric symptoms approximated occupational and social functioning with deficiencies in most areas as of February 14, 2022.
