Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, as the earliest possible effective date is March 19, 2024.
The deciding factor: The law does not provide any basis for an effective date earlier than March 19, 2024, based on the first complete claim received after the intent to file a claim.
