Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date for service-connected generalized anxiety disorder, finding no basis to assign a date prior to March 30, 2017.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a formal claim or new and material evidence within one year of the July 2015 final rating decision denying depression, which is the basis for the service-connected generalized anxiety disorder.
