If a veteran applies for a certain psych disorder, like depression, but gets SC'd for a partly similar one, like chronic adjustment disorder with depressed mood, what date is used for determining the award of service connection? Is it the date the original pysch compensation claim was submitted as is usually done or is it the date of the C&P exam ( i.e., date of the doctor's diagnosis ) for which the other psych disorder was made or a BVA remand date etc.?
