Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for earlier effective dates and increased ratings for his service-connected PTSD, headaches, lumbosacral strain, right hip disability, left hip disability, and cervical strain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a factually ascertainable increase in severity of these disabilities prior to May 25, 2021, which is the date of the Veteran's claim for increased ratings.
