Partly granted
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for an earlier effective date for several service-connected conditions but remanded the issues related to initial disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The appeal was rendered moot because a September 2023 decision already granted the benefits sought with the correct effective date.
