Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for a 100 percent rating for PTSD, stating that the increase in disability was not factually ascertainable within one year prior to October 18, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's treatment records did not show increased symptomatology warranting a higher rating before the claim date.
