Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date than July 3, 2019, for awards of service connection for neuropathy in each lower extremity as a matter of law.
The deciding factor: The appropriate effective date is July 3, 2019, because that was the date VA received the Veteran's intent to file his successfully readjudicated claims for these disabilities.
