Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date prior to March 9, 2023 for service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence demonstrates that the VA received the Veteran's formal claim form on March 6, 2023, and there were no prior informal or formal claims prior to that regarding his claim for PTSD.
