Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of service connection for PTSD back to July 13, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued the claim for entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder since July 13, 2018, and the Board found that a duty-to-assist error was present in prior adjudications of the mental health claim.
