Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date prior to September 10, 2022, for the award of service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.156(c) were inapplicable as the service department records associated with the claims file after the December 2007 rating decision did not include relevant STRs from the March 2005 to August 2006 period of service.
