Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date prior to February 9, 2022, for a 10 percent evaluation of service-connected rhinitis (claimed as sinusitis).
The deciding factor: There was no unadjudicated claim for an increased rating prior to February 9, 2022, and the evidence did not show an increase in disability within one year prior to that date.
