Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 100 percent initial rating for anemia, effective May 19, 2020. The claim for an earlier effective date was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the criteria for a 100 percent rating were met due to the initial diagnosis requiring transfusion due to severe anemia, but there was no basis for an earlier effective date as the Veteran's intent to file a claim was not received until May 19, 2020.
