Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to September 24, 2024, for the grant of DIC benefits based on service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date as the claim was filed more than one year after the Veteran's death and there is no evidence of intent to file a claim prior to September 24, 2024.
