Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and separate evaluations, as there was no basis to assign an earlier effective date or additional ratings under the law.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date for service connection was December 11, 2019, based on the receipt of a valid Supplemental Claim, and there were no grounds to grant separate evaluations for TBI residuals.
