Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 24, 2021, for service connection for right and left upper extremity neuropathy and a 30 percent rating for the right upper extremity, while denying a higher rating for the left upper extremity.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were reasonably raised in his May 24, 2021 Supplemental Claim, and the evidence supported an effective date of that date. The disability ratings were based on the severity of symptoms reported by the Veteran and confirmed by medical examinations.
