Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 4, 2019, for the award of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The March 26, 2021 notification letter failed to comply with notice requirements, making the decision non-final and allowing the claim to remain open until proper notification was provided in November 2024.
