Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to July 17, 2022, for the award of service connection for right upper extremity (RUE) neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a claim for RUE neuropathy being reasonably raised before July 17, 2022, and the first competent medical evidence of RUE neuropathy was from a February 2023 VA examination report.
