Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date of January 1, 2019, for the award of a 70 percent rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The November 2018 'Report of General Information' did not qualify as new and material evidence to reopen the October 2018 final decision reducing the Veteran's PTSD rating from 50% to zero percent, and no other relevant evidence was submitted prior to September 23, 2022.
