Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 60 percent for interstitial lung disease and an earlier effective date for the grant of a 60 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating throughout the period on appeal, and it was not factually ascertainable that his disability first worsened within one year prior to the November 2019 claim for increase.
