Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to April 30, 2021 for the grant of service connection for tinnitus.
The deciding factor: There was no formal or informal claim for service connection for tinnitus prior to April 30, 2021, and the Veteran's initial claim for entitlement to service connection for tinnitus was received by the RO on that date.
