Granted
The Board granted an effective date of April 19, 2017, for the grants of entitlement to service connection for a right shoulder disorder and a right knee disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were continuously pursued since April 19, 2017, and there is no earlier claim or evidence of record that would warrant an earlier effective date.
