Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of December 29, 2022, for the award of service connection for hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The AOJ never informed the Veteran that he had submitted an outdated form, and thus the December 2022 form is considered complete for claims processing purposes.
