The appeal seeking an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for PTSD due to clear and unmistakable error (CUE) was dismissed due to a procedural defect in docketing.
The deciding factor: There was a procedural defect with the docketing of the November 2023 VA Form 10182: Decision Review Request, as it was improperly concurrent with a Supplemental Claim application submitted on the same day. The Board found that clarification should have been sought to prevent adjudication by both the Board and the AOJ.
