Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection of persistent depressive disorder with anxious distress. The effective date remains October 28, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a claim within one year after separation from service and did not provide new evidence to warrant an earlier effective date.
