Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for scarring alopecia and dermatitis was granted. The claim for a compensable rating for service-connected scarring alopecia was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran continuously pursued his claim within the applicable regulatory timeframes, making February 20, 2018, the proper effective date for the grant of service connection for dermatitis and scarring alopecia.
