The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and extension of a 100% disability evaluation for malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary system was denied as there is no evidence prior to November 24, 2008 indicating intent to apply for service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date and extension of a 100% disability evaluation was not filed until after his original claim on November 24, 2008. There is no evidence prior to this date that he had applied for or received service connection for the condition.
