Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for major depressive disorder, finding that August 3, 2020, was the appropriate date.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date as there were no claims or new and relevant evidence submitted prior to August 3, 2020.
