Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection for left, right knee, and right hip degenerative arthritis due to a lack of timely filing of a notice of disagreement or new evidence within one year of the June 2019 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) or submit new and relevant evidence within one year of the June 2019 rating decision, and did not request an extension for filing a supplemental claim prior to July 22, 2022.
