Thank you for the info.

I did not file the supplement claim within a year. The only thing that I could see different is they did not have enough evidence to grant me the original claim. But when I did file the supplement claim I had new evidence and a buddy letter. I appealed the effective to the Higer level. Its still pending.

HeyAll, my question is this. I filed a PTSD claim within a year of separating, the VA denied the claim, i did not do a NOD. I filed a supplement claim Oct last year with a buddy statement that I did not have before, along with my corrected Dd214 with my campaign medals. The va granted me 70% for PTSD, but only back date it to the supplement file date. I did an appeal for the earlier effective date to the original claim. What is the possibility of them granting the earlier effective date?
