Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, was dismissed as the benefits sought on appeal have been granted in full.
The deciding factor: The RO's subsequent rating decision granting service connection is not evidence regarding the evidence windows defined in 38 C.F.R. § 20.303, and there are no specific errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.
