The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for his 30 percent disability rating for exercise induced asthma, finding that the correct effective date is March 26, 2022.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran filed a new claim more than one year after the previous AOJ decision regarding the disability rating for his exercise induced asthma.
