Denied
The appeal regarding the effective date of service connection for kidney, chronic renal failure was denied as it was determined that the May 2023 rating decision properly revised the effective date to August 22, 2022 based on clear and unmistakable error in the April 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The assignment of August 12, 2022 as the effective date was determined to be an error because it is not supported by the evidence extant at the time of the May 2023 rating decision. The proper effective date is August 22, 2022.
