Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent disability rating for schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type multiple episodes in partial remission with mild stimulant use disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that an increase in disability was factually ascertainable within one year prior to the Veteran's February 2020 claim for an increased rating.
