Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for post-traumatic arthritis status post left ring finger fracture, finding that February 25, 2021, is the proper date.
The deciding factor: The Board found no basis to assign an effective date earlier than February 25, 2021, as this was the date of receipt of a formal claim for service connection.
