Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for a compensable rating for painful right thigh scar and right thigh scar status post-surgical melanoma excision.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's formal claim was received on September 27, 2022, and the criteria for an effective date before that date were not met.
