The Board denied an earlier effective date prior to March 22, 2022, for the grant of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder to include PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence is persuasively against a finding that VA granted the Veteran an extension to appeal the February 2020 rating decision and there are no communications between the February 2020 rating decision and March 22, 2022 intent to file which may be considered a formal or informal claim for service connection or an appeal of the February 2020 rating decision.
