The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 40 percent disability rating for service-connected voiding dysfunction, finding that there was no evidence of voiding dysfunction requiring absorbent materials prior to July 22, 2023.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran experienced voiding dysfunction requiring absorbent materials which had to be changed several times per day prior to July 22, 2023.
