Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date prior to April 6, 2022, for the assignment of a 60 percent rating for peptic ulcer disease and a 10 percent rating for radiculopathy right lower extremity, sciatic nerve.
The deciding factor: The Board found no legal basis for an earlier effective date as there was no continuous pursuit of the claims and applicable regulations do not allow for such an earlier date.
