Partly granted
The veteran's earlier effective date for service connection for acne and tinea pedis was granted. A higher disability rating for acne was denied, but a 30 percent rating for tinea pedis was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's intent to file a claim form on January 20, 2021, and the subsequent claim on February 25, 2021, warranted an effective date of January 20, 2021 for both conditions.
