Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the awards of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and a right foot disability, both from April 5, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's intent to file was received on April 5, 2021, and he submitted a Supplemental Claim in September 2022 requesting an extension due to the COVID-19 national emergency. The Board found that good cause existed for the delay in filing.
