The Board has granted an earlier effective date of April 4, 2019 for a 60 percent rating for Interstitial Cystitis (IC), but the decision is vacated regarding the denial of an even earlier effective date. The Veteran's claim will be reconsidered under the rules of the evidence submission docket.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a full grant of the benefit sought by the Veteran may be possible based on consideration of evidence not previously reviewable under the direct docket, and thus vacated part of its decision regarding an earlier effective date.
