Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date prior to February 14, 2022, for service connection of OSA. The earliest effective date is February 14, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran first filed his claim for service connection of his OSA on February 14, 2022, more than one year after he left service and there was no intent to file a claim prior to this date.
