Granted
The Board granted the appellant's request for a higher-level review of the effective dates assigned within the April 2, 2019, Rating Decision.
The deciding factor: The VA Regional Office erred by rejecting the HLR request as untimely because it was filed on August 26, 2020, which is within one year of the notification date of August 26, 2019.
