The Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date of December 10, 2019, for entitlement to a TDIU and DEA were granted, while the claim for a higher rating for his service-connected anaphylaxis was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported unemployability due to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities since December 10, 2019, but did not warrant a higher disability rating for anaphylaxis.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election of review options.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the cases of service connection for chronic pyelonephritis and an increased disability rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected anaphylaxis due to insufficient medical opinions. The effective date issue is not addressed as it does not involve service connection.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to incomplete development and need for additional medical opinions. The Veteran's allergy disorder, including anaphylaxis, is being reviewed again as it may be related to service-connected urticaria pigmentosa.
- Denied
The Veteran's asthma is rated at 30 percent, but the Board finds that her PFT results do not warrant a higher rating due to her daily inhalational and oral bronchodilator therapy.
