Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection was denied. However, the veteran was granted an increased rating of 30% for right wrist neuropathy starting from May 18, 2022, and TDIU and SMC benefits starting from October 6, 2021.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence and regulations governing the payment of monetary benefits.
