Denied

The Veteran's claims for earlier effective dates for the award of service connection for right hip conditions were denied as his intent to file was not received within one year prior to the date of claim.

The deciding factor: The Veteran did not submit a completed application within one year of his July 20, 2020 intent to file, making the July 2020 intent to file void and the proper form being submitted in October 2021 with the supplemental claim application.
