Partly granted
The veteran's effective date for service connection and increased ratings for various diabetic conditions is granted as of July 14, 2020. The claim for TDIU was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran continuously pursued the claims since July 17, 2020, and thus the effective date should be the date of the initial claim.
