Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of February 27, 2023, for the grant of service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD).
The deciding factor: The Board found that a claim for service connection for CAD was within the penumbra between the formal VA Form and the medical records submitted with it, thus resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
