Denied
The veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection of a back disability was denied. The VA determined that the correct forms were not submitted in time.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not appeal the December 2015 rating decision or submit new and material evidence within one year, and the claim was not filed on the proper form until October 8, 2020.
