Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent rating for anxiety disorder and eligibility for DEA benefits under Chapter 35, as there was no factually ascertainable increase in symptoms prior to December 10, 2017.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a factually ascertainable increase in the severity of the Veteran's anxiety disorder or his eligibility for DEA benefits until after December 10, 2017.
