Denied
The appeal for an earlier effective date prior to January 23, 2014, for the grant of service connection for PTSD based on CUE in the January 2003 and December 2017 rating decisions was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that any error of fact or law manifestly changed the outcome of the January 2003 and December 2017 decisions such that reasonable minds cannot differ as to whether service connection for PTSD was warranted, nor an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD.
