Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 16, 2012 for the grant of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on newly-associated official service department records that existed but had not been associated with the claims file at the time of the initial denial in September 2012.
