Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to August 6, 2024, for the grant of service connection for Hepatitis C and a compensable rating prior to August 6, 2024, and in excess of 20 percent thereafter.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's Hepatitis C was asymptomatic before August 6, 2024, and did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
