Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for tinnitus, as there was no evidence that a claim for this disability was received prior to July 17, 2023.
The deciding factor: There is no argument or indication that a claim for VA compensation was received within one year after separation from service or at any other point prior to July 17, 2023.
