Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an effective date prior to November 9, 2014, for the grant of service connection for deviated septum.
The deciding factor: There were no earlier claims or communications indicating intent to apply for benefits for a deviated septum, and the claim was received more than one year after separation from service.
