The veteran is seeking an earlier effective date for a 20% disability rating for service-connected residuals of fracture, right wrist. The Board finds no basis to grant this claim and denies the request.
The deciding factor: The effective date cannot be earlier than October 5, 1992, as the claim was not submitted within one year from the separation from full-time active duty for training where the injury occurred (July 11, 1988).
