Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 1, 2009 for the grant of service connection for allergic rhinitis with chronic recurrent nasal polyps and deviated nasal septum, status post septoplasty.
The deciding factor: The newly received STRs are relevant to the October 2009 claim and existed at the time of the March 2010 decision but had not been associated with the claims file when VA decided the claim. Reconsideration is warranted under 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c).
