Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of a 100 percent rating for a psychiatric disorder, finding that there was no evidence to support an increase in disability within one year prior to January 5, 2023.
The deciding factor: The increase in disability is not factually ascertainable within one year of the date of claim, and thus the earliest possible effective date is the date of claim, January 5, 2023.
