Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD due to a clear and unmistakable error in an August 1984 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the correct facts were before the adjudicator at the time of the August 1984 rating decision, and that the outcome would not have been manifestly different even if the diagnosis had been PTSD instead of generalized anxiety disorder.
