Partly granted
The veteran's claims for earlier effective dates for service connection and increased ratings were denied. However, the veteran was granted an initial 60 percent rating from September 12, 2018 to May 17, 2020, and a 100 percent rating from November 2, 2020 for coronary artery disease, as well as an effective date of September 12, 2018 for special monthly compensation at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support earlier effective dates or higher ratings based on the criteria and regulations cited.
