Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an effective date earlier than November 3, 2021, for service connection of residuals of bladder cancer. The earliest possible effective date as a matter of law is November 3, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date because the Veteran's intent to file a claim was received on November 3, 2021, and there were no prior formal or informal claims.
