Granted
The Veteran is entitled to an effective date of March 13, 2012, for his claim of entitlement to service connection for residuals of bladder cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows the Veteran had service in Vietnam and was presumed to have been exposed to herbicide agents. The Veteran's claim was received between May 3, 1989, and January 1, 2021, which aligns with the effective date of the statute establishing presumptive service connection for bladder cancer.
