The Veteran's claim for service connection for dermatophytosis was granted with a March 7, 2014 effective date. The Board found that the Veteran had previously filed a claim for PB (shave bumps) in 2010 and did not raise the issue of dermatophytosis until his March 2014 Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for service connection for dermatophytosis was raised after he had previously filed a claim for PB, which led to an effective date of July 8, 2010. The Board found that the Veteran did not have a pending request for dermatophytosis prior to his March 7, 2014 Notice of Disagreement.
