Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 16, 2019, for compensation for prostate cancer. The Veteran's claim was based on VA's failure to timely diagnose and treat the condition.
The deciding factor: The effective date was set to the date of injury (August 16, 2019) because the claim was filed within one year of that date.
