Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for earlier effective dates for the award of service connection for PTSD and DEA, as the evidence weighed against his claims.
The deciding factor: The appropriate effective date is December 16, 2022, based on the submission of an intent to file form, which is more than one year after the last previous final denial in this case.
