Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for unspecified anxiety disorder, as the evidence submitted in October 2021 did not change the outcome of the January 2014 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The October 2021 evidence provided greater detail into the Veteran's duties during Vietnam but would not have altered the denial due to the lack of a nexus between the Veteran's traumatic experiences and his psychiatric disorder.
