Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for tinnitus, assigning July 25, 2023 as the effective date.
The deciding factor: The intent to file was not received within one year of the June 2022 decision, making that decision final. The Veteran has continuously pursued the claim from July 25, 2023, which is assigned as the effective date for the award of service connection for tinnitus.
