Partly granted
The Board granted separate ratings of 20 percent for right and left upper extremity peripheral neuropathy, but denied earlier effective dates for special monthly compensation, service connection for bilateral glaucoma, and payment of accrued benefits.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an award of earlier effective dates based on the criteria set forth in 38 U.S.C. � 5110 and 38 C.F.R. � 3.400.
