Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for GERD, finding that the claim was not received prior to June 09, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date as there is no documentation showing intent to file a claim before June 09, 2023.
