Partly granted
The veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD and dependents' educational assistance was denied. However, the veteran was granted an increased 70 percent disability rating for PTSD from November 7, 2019 to August 5, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Board's decision was based on the evidence available at the time of the October 2021 decision and the Veteran's failure to appeal or request a higher-level review of the July 2020 decision.
