Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the evaluation of residuals, injury to the left knee, meniscal tear.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support an earlier effective date as it is factually ascertainable that an increase in disability occurred within one year prior to the claim on April 17, 2024.
