Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to January 29, 2020, for the grant of service connection for type II diabetes mellitus and a rating in excess of 20 percent for the same condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's type II diabetes mellitus required regulation of activities as part of medical management, which is necessary to warrant a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
