Partly granted
The veteran's earlier effective date for a 70% PTSD rating was granted, but the request for a higher rating was denied. The veteran also received an earlier effective date for Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not warrant a higher disability rating during the period on appeal.
