Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 100% rating and service connection for PTSD with panic attacks was denied and dismissed. The claim for special monthly compensation (SMC) based on housebound criteria was also denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran is already in receipt of the earliest possible effective date for the award of an increased rating for this disability, which is the date she filed an increased evaluation claim.
