Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection of myocardial infarction with bradycardia and coronary artery bypass graft (cardiac disability) and tinnitus, as no prior claim was received before July 22, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran submitted a claim for service connection prior to July 22, 2024, which is the date of receipt of his initial claim.
