Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for service connection of psychiatric condition, TDIU benefits, and DEA benefits, all set at January 31, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date as the claims were not filed until after June 2012, and relevant service records that existed but had not been associated with the file when VA first decided the claim in September 2012 were not found to be the basis for the grant of benefits.
