Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for tinnitus, as the earliest date that may be assigned is June 9, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not submit a complete claim within one year of his intent to file in March 2020, and VA received his Supplemental Claim on June 9, 2021, which was the earliest date that could be assigned for an effective date.
