Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than February 10, 2010, for service connection of allergic rhinitis with deviated septa. The earliest assignable date by law is February 10, 2010.
The deciding factor: The Board is bound by the law governing the assignment of effective dates, which sets February 10, 2010, as the earliest possible date.
