Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date for the right calf scar and a TDIU, but denied increased ratings for various conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's submission of new claims within one year of the prior rating decisions, which allowed for earlier effective dates in some cases.
