Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for asthma, as the Veteran was not medically diagnosed with asthma until July 18, 2023.
The deciding factor: The later of the claim date or entitlement date serves as the effective date, which in this case is July 18, 2023, based on the medical diagnosis of asthma.
