The Parole Board can think about letting you out on parole any time in the month before your scheduled hearing date. You will not be released on parole before your parole eligibility date, even if the Board considers your case early. The Board does this to make their work more efficient.

21A: Board must specify date by which offender must be further considered for parole, or
"The Parole Board must tell you when they will think about letting you out of prison again."
23: No consideration for parole of offenders on compassionate release, or
"No parole for people released from prison for compassionate reasons"
For the sake of administrative efficiency, the Board may consider an offender for release on parole at any time within the month preceding the date on which the offender is due to be considered by the Board; but in no case may an offender who is considered early under this section be released on parole before his or her parole eligibility date.
