Granted
The veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection of right and left ankle achilles tendonitis was granted, with the effective date set to January 14, 2011.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's representative did not receive proper notice of a key decision, making it non-final and warranting an earlier effective date.
