Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for a 10% rating of left finger disability was granted, but other claims related to the left finger scar and increased ratings were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's left finger disability symptoms increased in severity in December 2022, warranting an earlier effective date.
