Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent for the period prior to August 21, 2023, but denied a higher rating from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximated those associated with a 50 percent rating during the period prior to August 21, 2023, but did not meet the criteria for a higher rating at any point during the appeal period.
