Granted
The Board grants an effective date of July 24, 2020 for the award of service connection for multiple myeloma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran continuously pursued his claim by timely filing a succession of review options within one year of the initial denial, establishing entitlement to an earlier effective date than the date of receipt of the claim.
