DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the veteran's requests for earlier effective dates and initial compensable ratings for hypertension and erectile dysfunction. The decisions were based on the lack of evidence supporting the claims and the applicable legal standards.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support assigning an effective date prior to the dates specified by law or granting a higher rating based on the veteran's medical records.
