DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied an earlier effective date for service connection for psoriasis and a higher initial disability rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rating due to the lack of systemic therapy and involvement of less than 5 percent of the total body area and exposed areas.
