Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date prior to November 27, 2020, for the assignment of a 70 percent disability rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a factually ascertainable increase in severity of the Veteran's PTSD during the relevant period, and he did not properly opt into the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) from the legacy system.
