Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 8, 2021 for the award of a 70% rating for service-connected PTSD and also granted a 70% rating as of February 7, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD had exacerbated six months prior to his claim, warranting an earlier effective date. Additionally, the evidence showed occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas due to PTSD symptoms, justifying a 70% rating as of February 7, 2022.
