Granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 30, 2022, but no earlier, for the grant of service connection for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that one year prior to the date of reopening a disallowed claim would be May 30, 2022, and there is no legal basis to assign an effective date prior to this date.
