Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for a left knee disability, as the Veteran's claim was received on March 6, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show any communication prior to March 6, 2024 that can be interpreted as a claim for entitlement to service connection for a left knee disability.
