Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of February 25, 2021, for the award of service connection for sleep apnea but denied earlier effective dates for TDIU and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's complete claim for sleep apnea was considered filed as of February 25, 2021, due to his intent to file received on that date. For TDIU and DEA benefits, the Board found no basis to award an earlier effective date prior to February 25, 2021.
