Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder was granted with an effective date of December 20, 2018. A disability rating of 70 percent was assigned from December 20, 2018 to November 18, 2021. The veteran was also granted an earlier effective date for TDIU and SMC based on the need for aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran continuously pursued his claim since December 20, 2018, warranting an earlier effective date.
