Granted
The Board granted an effective date of November 14, 2022, for service connection for PTSD and eligibility for DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for a mental health condition in November 2022 encompassed PTSD based on MST, and the evidence shows that her diagnoses are interconnected. The Board finds that an earlier effective date of November 14, 2022, is warranted for service connection for PTSD.
