Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an effective date of February 27, 2023, for the award of service connection for bilateral lower extremity neuropathy but was denied increased ratings for both right and left lower extremity neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the submission of new and relevant evidence within one year of the Veteran's Intent to File a claim in February 2023, which allowed for an earlier effective date. However, the evidence did not support increased ratings for the conditions during the appeal period.
