Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 100 percent for multiple myeloma, effective July 26, 2022, but denied an earlier effective date for service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was symptomatic and required continuous medication, supporting a 100 percent rating from the date of claim. However, there is no evidence of entitlement to an earlier effective date within one year of separation from service.
