Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as the earliest date of claim was July 23, 2010.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's claim to reopen was not received within one year of the final denial in January 2001, and the earliest formal claim for reopening was filed on July 23, 2010.
