Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent evaluation of service-connected PTSD, alcohol dependence, and depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Notice of Disagreement was not a motion for reconsideration and thus lacked jurisdiction over the issue.
