The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date of November 7, 2013, for the grant of a 30 percent disability rating for chronic urticaria is granted. The Board finds that she has suffered from chronic urticaria requiring second line treatment since her separation from active duty.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was determined to meet the criteria for a 30 percent disability rating under the amended criteria of DC 7825, which requires second-line treatment for control of chronic urticaria. The effective date is set at the day following her separation from active duty on November 7, 2013.
