Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date prior to January 24, 2020, for service connection of obstructive sleep apnea because the veteran did not continuously pursue his original claim.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to file a timely and proper appeal after the issuance of the December 2018 RAMP HLR rating decision.
