The Board denied earlier effective dates for the awards of service connection for trochanteric pain syndrome of the left hip, limitation of extension of the left hip, and limitation of flexion of the left hip.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an intent to file a claim for these conditions prior to July 10, 2019, which is the date of receipt of the Veteran's formal claim.
