Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than July 8, 2022, for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder. The veteran did not provide sufficient good cause to extend the time limit for filing a review option due to COVID-19 hardships.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran did not show good cause for extending the time limit to file a review option within a year of the October 2019 rating decision, despite COVID-19 hardships.
