The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a reinstated 10% disability rating for right foot plantar warts was denied as there is no evidence of any claims or clinical evidence relating to the condition prior to December 26, 2007.
The deciding factor: There is no basis in the record for establishing an earlier effective date due to a lack of claim or clinical evidence related to the right foot plantar warts before December 26, 2007.
