The Board has granted an effective date of June 11, 1993 for VA disability compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 based on the filing of a claim for benefits under that section prior to October 13, 2000.
The deciding factor: The earliest evidence of a claim for benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 was found in a June 1993 memorandum from the Director of VA Compensation and Pension Service, which directed development of such a claim based on an earlier submission by the veteran.
