Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for the cause of death, as the claim was not received within one year of the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date because the claim for service connection for the cause of death was not filed until September 13, 2024, more than a year after the Veteran's death in October 1992.
