Granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the increased rating of a seizure disorder, TDIU, DEA benefits, and SMC based on housebound status.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran averaged at least one major seizure in four months over the last year or nine to ten minor seizures per week from August 30, 2023, which supported the grant of earlier effective dates for the increased rating and other benefits.
