Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection of PTSD, finding no evidence that a valid claim was submitted within one year prior to June 21, 2022.
The deciding factor: The absence of any indication that an intent to file was submitted within the year prior to June 21, 2022, and the presumption of regularity in VA's administrative process did not support a finding for an earlier effective date.
