The Board granted a 100 percent schedular rating for PTSD in November 1998, effective from December 24, 1990. The veteran's appeal also included an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran had effectively appealed both his initial rating and the effective date of service connection for PTSD in May 1991 when he filed notice of disagreement with the initial rating assignment, which continued to be open until a statement of the case was issued on this issue in February 1994.
