Granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 21, 2022, for the Veteran's 100 percent rating for major depressive disorder (MDD), 30 percent rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and 30 percent rating for a right shoulder disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an even earlier effective date of September 21, 2022, was warranted based on the Veteran's continuous pursuit of his claim through various filings within one year of his initial Intent to File.
