Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for PTSD, as the Veteran did not file a claim within one year of separation from service and the earliest effective date available is May 11, 2023.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that no claim for PTSD was received by VA prior to May 11, 2023, and the Veteran did not file a claim within one year of separation from service.
