Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for pityriasis lichenoid chronica, finding that there was no basis to assign an effective date any earlier than May 30, 2023.
The deciding factor: There were no pending or valid claims for service connection for a skin disorder between the February 2002 rating decision and May 30, 2023, which is when the Veteran submitted an Intent to File request.
