Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request to revise the January 2019 rating decision that granted service connection for tinnitus from November 9, 2018, on the basis of clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly show that a claim for tinnitus was reasonably raised prior to November 2018, thus the January 2019 rating decision's assignment of an effective date of November 9, 2018, was supported by the record and law.
