Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date for a 70 percent evaluation for bilateral glaucoma to include dry eye syndrome, beginning August 31, 2021.
The deciding factor: Based on the evidence of record, it was factually ascertainable that the Veteran's glaucoma had worsened by August 31, 2021, which is within one year of the private treatment records showing a worsening of the condition.
