Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date than January 11, 2016, for the grant of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 Supplemental Claim broke the chain of continuous pursuit regarding the downstream issue of entitlement to an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD and was therefore dismissed as a matter of law.
