Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of March 27, 2007, for the grant of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence suggests the Veteran experienced symptoms prior to March 27, 2007, but the claim was not received until that date, making it the earliest allowable effective date.
