Granted
The Veteran is granted an effective date of July 26, 2021, for the grant of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The Board finds that since the Veteran submitted a corrected claim within one year of his initial improper claim, the date of the improper claim is treated as the date of the reopened claim for effective date purposes.
