Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for pulmonary fibrosis, as the Veteran did not file a claim until August 7, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date because the Veteran's claim was not received by VA prior to August 7, 2023.
