Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of a left wrist disability, as no evidence showed that she continuously pursued her claim within one year of the initial denial in 2003.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not appeal the prior decisions and did not file a supplemental claim within one year of receiving notice of the July 2003 rating decision denying service connection for a left wrist disability, thus an earlier effective date was not preserved.
