The Board granted a 30 percent evaluation for inactive pulmonary tuberculosis effective April 21, 2001. The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date was also granted.
The deciding factor: The revised criteria provided more favorable ratings and the veteran's claims were supported by new evidence that warranted reopening of his service connection claim.
