Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for asthma, finding that the evidence did not support a direct link to service or manifestation within 10 years post-service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's asthma was not shown to have manifested during active service or within 10 years of separation from service, and without application of presumption, is not otherwise shown to be related to service.
