Question
1994andcouting.....
Hello everyone. It took some time after finally having my claim approved for me to get this question ready. I appreciate any input that you may have.
I was finally approved for my PTSD/MDD due to MST claim back in July. I immediately filed an NOD for an earlier effective date. Although the MST happened in 1989 and my original claim was from 2002, I was not diagnosed with PTSD until 2008 and started treatment off and on for the MST after that.
What kind of evidence should I submit to back this up? I have the entry from Blue Button from July 2008 where the Psychiatrist diagnosed me. But that is all I have so far. The psych notes and therapy notes were part of the claim so I dont know what else to provide.
NOTE: My claim for depression was denied at the BVA level back in June 2008 prior to the change to PTSD diagnosis in July 2008. I was so done with the VA at that time that I didnt file a timely NOD.
Any help is greatly appreciated. As stated before, Hadit members have helped me in more ways than you can imagine. I truly thank you for your support.

Your effective date is the later of the "facts found" or the date you applied. If you were not diagnosed until 2008, its gonna be almost impossible to get an effective date earlier than that, UNLESS

The crazy one here IMHO, based on the information you posted the most retro you can get is back to 2008. The date you were diagnosed with PTSD. I do not think a new IMO that reviews your medical rec

You might want to review all your rating decisions and your BVA denial decision that may shed some light in reference to your evidence. If you can not locate the doctor that treated you, you can alw
