Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for bilateral foot disability, finding that no complete claim was received prior to October 7, 2020.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not submit a complete claim for service connection for bilateral foot disability before October 7, 2020, and thus an earlier effective date is not warranted.
