Granted
The Board granted an effective date of July 27, 1993, for the award of service connection for major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on newly received relevant service department records that existed and had not been associated with the claims file when VA first decided the claim, which formed all or part of the basis for the award of a benefit.
