Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 4, 2019, for the award of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The proper effective date for the award of service connection for PTSD is May 4, 2019, as that was the receipt date of the Veteran's application and more than one year after his separation from service.
