Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD (claimed as anxiety, depression, and insomnia) and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The earliest possible effective date from which the Veteran's claims may be granted is the date of his Supplemental Claim, October 7, 2022, due to lack of continuous pursuit or timely filing of a formal claim within one year of an intent to file in 2015.
