Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a disability rating higher than 30% before January 14, 2022, for their psychiatric condition. The effective date for the increased 50% rating for PTSD was also denied.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's mental health symptoms did not warrant a higher rating prior to January 14, 2022.
