Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for prostate cancer, recurrent.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date was one year prior to the receipt of the March 2024 ITF, which is March 30, 2023, as the PACT Act's effective date was August 10, 2022.
