Granted
The Board granted an effective date of July 17, 2020, for the award of service connection for left and right upper extremity idiopathic peripheral neuropathy and lumbosacral strain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims remained pending until the AOJ awarded service connection in December 2023 and March 2024 rating decisions, warranting an effective date of July 17, 2020, but no earlier.
