Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 27, 2018, for service connection and a rating of 70 percent for unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder with alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran had a current acquired psychiatric disorder disability at the time he filed his claim in March 2018, and the symptoms met the criteria for a 70 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.
