Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than September 15, 2023, for the grant of service connection for tinnitus and remanded the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to insufficient notice regarding a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an effective date earlier than the date of receipt of the Veteran's supplemental claim to readjudicate his claim for service connection for tinnitus, which was September 15, 2023.
