The Board granted an earlier effective date of November 25, 1992, for service connection for residuals of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), foot drop left and right lower extremities.

The deciding factor: The additional service treatment records received in June 2023 addressed a factual issue that was dispositive against the appellant in the prior adjudication of the claim, leading to an earlier effective date being granted.
