Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service connection for asthma.
The deciding factor: VA received the Veteran's supplemental claim more than one year after the AOJ issued notice of the October 2022 decision, and thus continuous pursuit under 38 C.F.R. § 3.2500(h) has not been established.
