Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an effective date earlier than March 2, 2022, for service connection of depressive disorder. The veteran had filed an Intent to File on June 9, 2021, but the Board determined that this intent did not apply to the supplemental claim filed on March 2, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Intent to File was attached to a previous supplemental claim for IVDS and thus could not be applied to the depressive disorder claim.
