Denied
The Board denied the Appellant's claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, as there was no basis to toll or set aside the finality of the June 2003 denial.
The deciding factor: There were no new and material evidence received within one year of the June 2003 decision, nor any other basis to toll the finality of that decision.
