Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for the anterior neck scar and denied an effective date earlier than April 2, 2015, for the grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's anterior neck scar involved more than one characteristic of disfigurement or that there was an earlier effective date warranted based on a notice of intent to file form received in 2015.
