United States Federal Circuit
Jones v. Shinseki, 09-7128
In a veteran's petition for an earlier effective date for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on a claim filed in 1973, which he alleges was still pending when his claim was later reopened, the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims' (Veterans Court) affirmance of the Board of Veterans' Appeals' (Board) denial of the claim is affirmed as the Veterans Court correctly determined that petitioner's 1973 claim was resolved by a 1986 Board decision.
