Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the Veteran's back disability and bilateral upper and lower extremity neuropathy, but denied increased ratings for his back disability and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record showing that the claims were continuously pursued since their respective filing dates, and the persuasive weight of the evidence indicated the Veteran's disabilities did not warrant higher ratings.
