Dismissed
The appeal seeking revision of the 1972 rating decision that denied service connection for psychiatric disabilities was dismissed as it is now considered moot due to a complete grant of benefits.
The deciding factor: The August 1972 rating decision was found not to be final, and an effective date of September 18, 1971, the day following separation from service, was assigned for service connection for schizophrenia, rendering the appeal moot.
