The Board granted an earlier effective date of July 17, 2013, for the grant of service connection for eczema but denied a higher initial rating in excess of 30 percent.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for allergies encompassed a claim for eczema, and the evidence supports an earlier effective date. However, the criteria for a higher rating were not met during the appeal period.
