The Board granted an effective date of March 19, 1965, for the grant of service connection for residuals of a left eye injury based on new and relevant evidence received after a final disallowance.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the finding that there was an increase in the severity of the Veteran's preexisting left eye disorder (leading to the final determination that the disorder was aggravated by service) due to relevant service department records that existed but had not been associated with the claims file at the time of the February 1967 Board decision.
