Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an effective date prior to December 30, 2022, for the award of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The August 2016 rating decision became final due to lack of a timely notice of disagreement, and the earliest possible effective date was December 30, 2022, when the Veteran refiled his claim.
