The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 28, 2012, for the grant of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to adjudicate the underlying claim for service connection, and as such there can be no CUE as there was no final decision on the claim. The evidence indicates that there was a failure to adjudicate the underlying claim which remained pending and supports an earlier effective date of August 28, 2012.
