Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date than July 4, 1996 for a 100 percent rating for schizophrenia, continuous.
The deciding factor: The August 1997 rating decision was final and binding, and no new and material evidence was received within one year of that decision to warrant an earlier effective date.
