Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 26, 2021, for the grant of a 70 percent disability rating for service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in approximate balance as to whether there was an increase in the appellant's PTSD sufficient to warrant a 70 percent rating as of April 26, 2021, and the claim has been continuously pursued since that date.
