Granted
The Veteran was granted an earlier effective date of September 11, 2005 for the award of service connection for PTSD based on new and material evidence from NCIS records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the complete copy of records from NCIS constituted relevant official service department records not previously obtained by VA, which led to a diagnosis of PTSD and thus warranted reconsideration of the claim under 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c)(3).
