Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) as the Veteran's claim was filed on June 10, 2021, and there is no earlier ascertainable date for his residuals of TBI.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the earliest effective date available is the date of the claim for service connection, which was June 10, 2021.
