Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date of the assigned 70 percent rating for PTSD and special monthly compensation based on housebound, finding that the evidence did not support these claims.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence supporting an earlier effective date for the PTSD rating and the denial of SMC housebound due to res judicata.
