Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a 70 percent disability rating for adjustment disorder with anxiety, as there was no evidence that an increase in disability had occurred prior to April 12, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 70 percent disability rating prior to May 29, 2018, and thus an earlier effective date was not warranted.
