Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than October 15, 2020 for the award of service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy due to a broken chain of continuous pursuit.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file an appropriate AMA review option within one year of the October 2018 rating decision and did not request an extension, breaking the chain of continuous pursuit.
