Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of PTSD with MDD was dismissed. The claim for a higher disability rating is being sent back for further review.
The deciding factor: The Board could not consider new evidence submitted after the June 2023 decision, and the veteran did not timely appeal previous decisions.
