Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 7, 2021, for the assignment of a 30 percent rating for the left foot disability and denied a higher initial rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's left foot disability was found to be severe since at least 2015, supporting a 30 percent rating prior to the claim date, but the effective date is based on when VA received the initial claim, which was September 7, 2021.
