Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for a higher rating for PTSD prior to October 1, 2018 was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: The claim was not timely contested after the final November 2018 rating decision and new evidence was not received within one year to prevent it from becoming final.
