Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than May 10, 2022, for service connection of PTSD. The veteran had filed an Intent to File on September 16, 2021, but the Board determined that this intent was already associated with a different claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the September 2021 Intent to File could not be applied to the May 2022 supplemental claim for PTSD because it had already been associated with an earlier supplemental claim for the veteran's right knee disability.
