Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection of a left shoulder disability, as the Veteran did not submit new and material evidence within one year of previous denials.
The deciding factor: The claim was not timely appealed, and there is no basis to overcome the finality of prior rating decisions denying service connection for the left shoulder disability.
