Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than August 8, 2022, for the award of service connection for a psychiatric disability due to no pending claim prior to that date.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a pending claim or intent to file prior to August 8, 2022, and thus the earliest effective date is the date of receipt of the intent to file form.
