Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection of bronchial asthma and remanded the claim for a low back disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran submitted a formal or informal claim for service connection for asthma prior to August 25, 2021, and no other basis for an earlier effective date was established.
