Granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 2, 2019, for the award of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was continuously pursued within one year of the initial intent to file and the evidence supports that his acquired psychiatric disorder (to include PTSD) predated or at least coincided with his date of claim.
