Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date prior to September 21, 2021, for the increased evaluation of 70 percent for PTSD with depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the increase in disability was factually ascertainable within a year before the claim was filed on September 21, 2021.
