Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for onychomycosis and hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of any oral or written intent to pursue a claim for onychomycosis prior to July 29, 2022, and the first mention of a claim for hypothyroidism was not received until December 7, 2016.
