Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than January 4, 2022 for the award of service connection for CAD with myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and hypertensive heart disease associated with status post left orchiectomy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely request further review of the denial of service connection in the April 2019 decision to establish continuous pursuit of the claim. The Board found that an effective date based on October 3, 2018 is not warranted.
