Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for atrial fibrillation with bradycardia and remanded for a higher initial rating.
The deciding factor: The effective date cannot be earlier than August 10, 2022, as it is based on the effective date of the Veteran's service-connected hypertension.
