Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of tinnitus, finding that November 30, 2023 was the appropriate date as it was when evidence established a link between the condition and his period of active service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that no new and relevant evidence establishing a direct link to service was received prior to November 30, 2023.
