Granted
The Board granted an effective date of December 14, 2021, for the award of service connection for major depressive disorder with anxious distress.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued his claim since December 14, 2021, and VA recognized this intent as the date of claim, which is later than the date entitlement arose.
