Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the awards of a 30 percent rating for asthma and a 10 percent rating for rhinitis, as the evidence did not establish that these conditions met the criteria for higher ratings prior to May 8, 2023.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence reflecting the severity of the Veteran's asthma and rhinitis was received after May 8, 2023, which is the date VA received the Veteran's intent to file a claim for compensation.
