Partly granted
The appeal for a higher disability rating from January 21, 2022, was dismissed. The appeals for ratings from November 30, 2012, and February 1, 2021, were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's attorney requested withdrawal of the appeal for the January 21, 2022 rating, and the Board found this request clear and unambiguous. The other appeals were remanded due to a lack of medical examinations during flare-ups.
