Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for obstructive sleep apnea with asthma, as the Veteran did not file a timely appeal or submit new and material evidence within one year of the September 2013 denial.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a formal claim or new and material evidence within one year of the prior final denial in September 2013, making an earlier effective date unwarranted.
