Denied
The Board denied the claim for an effective date earlier than July 5, 2023, for service connection of mesothelioma. The evidence did not support that the intent to file was received before July 5, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Board found no clear evidence to rebut the presumption that VA received the intent to file on July 5, 2023.
