Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for multiple myeloma, finding no evidence that a formal or informal claim was filed prior to October 27, 2014.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively weigh in favor of an earlier effective date as there was no formal or informal claim for the disability prior to the filing on October 27, 2014.
