Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection for left elbow lateral and medial tendinitis impairment, as no communication indicating intent to claim this condition prior to October 10, 2001 was found.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a lack of evidence showing the Veteran had communicated any intent to claim service connection for the left elbow condition before October 10, 2001.
