Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for renal cell carcinoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma of the lung, as there was no indication of a claim prior to June 15, 2021.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence or assertion that a claim for these conditions was submitted before June 15, 2021, which is when VA received the claims leading to the grants of service connection.
