Granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 18, 1989 for the award of service connection for bipolar disorder. The Veteran's claim remained pending due to improper notice.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran was not properly notified of a May 1989 rating decision, keeping the claim pending until it was granted in June 2013.
