Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of December 15, 2013, for the award of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea based on a fully-developed claim filed within one year after the enactment of the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012.
The deciding factor: The effective date was granted because the Veteran's fully-developed claim was filed in the appropriate window under 38 U.S.C. § 5110(b)(2)(A) after the enactment of the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012.
