Granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 11, 2016, for the grant of service connection for schizophrenia.
The deciding factor: The evidence indicates that entitlement arose prior to the date of claim and the April 2016 and November 2016 rating decisions were not final due to new and material evidence being received within a year of the initial denial.
