Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an effective date earlier than August 14, 2001 for service connection of neurocognitive disorder and psychotic disorder due to TBI. The decision was based on a lack of evidence showing that the veteran had filed a formal or informal claim for these conditions before the specified date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's March 1995 and May 1995 claims did not identify an intent to apply for VA compensation benefits for a psychiatric disorder, and no new and material evidence was submitted within the one-year appeal period.
