The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 31, 2022 for service connection for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The receipt of the October 31, 2022 VA Form 21-526EZ constitutes the receipt of an incomplete application form under governing regulations, and the Veteran filed the proper VA Form 21-0995, Supplemental Claim, on January 4, 2023, within one year of the receipt of the incomplete October 31, 2022 VA Form 21-526EZ.
