Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder with major depressive disorder as a matter of law.
The deciding factor: The claim was dismissed due to the lack of a timely appeal of the August 19, 2013 rating decision that assigned the initial effective date.
