Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of June 25, 2013, for the grant of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and fibromyalgia.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that relevant VA treatment records existed but were not associated with the claims file until after the November 2014 rating decision, making it non-final.
