Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date than April 30, 2020, for service connection of PTSD, migraine headaches, ovarian cysts, and endometriosis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appropriate effective date is the later of the dates outlined in 38 C.F.R. § 3.400(g), which in this case is April 30, 2020.
