Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 14, 2009, for the award of service connection for PTSD but denied a claim to reverse or revise an October 2009 rating decision that denied service connection for PTSD on the basis of clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The August 2022 award of service connection for PTSD was based at least in part on newly provided, but previously existing service records verifying combat activity during the Veteran's active service.
