Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to January 4, 2017 for the award of service connection for constipation.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's claim for constipation was reasonably encompassed by any earlier claims or that the condition manifested before January 4, 2017.
