Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 23, 2012, for the award of service connection for a psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on new and relevant service treatment records that existed at the time of the initial claim but were not associated with the claims file when VA first decided the claim.
