Granted
The Board granted service connection for panic disorder with agoraphobia due to a clear and unmistakable error in the November 1998 rating decision. The effective date for this award is July 1, 1997.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the original decision did not consider all relevant evidence, including VA treatment records diagnosing panic disorder due to combat service.
