Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 23, 2022, for the assignment of a disability rating of 70 percent for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was considered based on the evidence available at the time of the AOJ decision, and it is as equally likely that the Veteran's PTSD increased in severity after August 2018 as it is that it increased in September 2022, warranting an effective date of September 23, 2022.
