Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of May 8, 2001, for service connection of a left greater toe disability based on newly associated service department records.
The deciding factor: The new STRs and military personnel records confirmed the Veteran's status as a prisoner while stationed in Quantico, VA, which were not previously considered in the February 2002 rating decision.
