Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for increased PTSD rating and Dependents' Educational Assistance. Service connection for right foot disability was also denied. However, the issues of service connection for vertigo, headaches, and TDIU were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence available at the time of the September 2023 agency decision and the Veteran's statements during the hearing.
