Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of August 9, 2023 for the award of service connection and increased ratings for several conditions, but remanded claims for higher initial disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the favorable findings in the October 2024 rating decision that were binding on VA due to actual notice received by the appellant and her representative.
