Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of March 4, 2022, for the award of service connection for residual nerve impairment for laceration of right thumb with residual pain and tendinosis.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that relevant official service department records existed and were not associated with the record when the claim was first considered, allowing VA to reconsider the claim under 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c).
