Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an effective date prior to August 4, 2023, for a 30 percent rating for dermatophytosis/onychomycosis of the nail plates 1-5, bilateral feet.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran filed a formal claim or any other communication seeking an increased rating prior to August 4, 2023, and the Board is bound by the law regarding effective dates for increased ratings.
