Granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, TDIU, and eligibility for DEA were granted from the earlier effective date of October 28, 2020.
The deciding factor: The grant was based on relevant service records that existed but had not been associated with the claims file at the time of the January 2021 rating decision, allowing an earlier effective date under 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c).
