Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 12, 2022, for the grant of service connection for lumbosacral strain with degenerative disc disease other than IVDS.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence supports that the Veteran's claim has been continuously pursued since filing his intent to file on October 12, 2022, and an effective date of October 12, 2022, is warranted.
