Granted
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder was granted, with the earliest possible effective date being August 2, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Intent to File rule under 38 C.F.R. § 3.155 allowed for an earlier effective date based on the Veteran's intent filed in August 2022, which was followed by a supplemental claim within one year.
