Partly granted
The Veteran's TDIU claim arose as part and parcel of her January 2017 claim for an increased rating, and the Board granted an effective date of January 30, 2017, but no earlier. The Board also restored a 20 percent disability rating for both the back and neck disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show actual improvement in the Veteran's disabilities that reflected her ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, thus the reductions were improper.
