Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 15, 2022, but no earlier, for the grant of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), on a basis other than clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran timely filed an ITF form on August 15, 2022, which was within one year of his previous denial in March 2019. He then submitted the correct claim form (VA Form 21-526EZ) for service connection for PTSD on November 25, 2022.
