DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection of residuals of prostate cancer, finding that the August 10, 2022 effective date is appropriate under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date as the Veteran's claim was incomplete and not filed within one year of the October 2016 denial, and the PACT Act's requirement for a medical opinion to address toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs) became effective on August 10, 2022.
