Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 60 percent rating for herpes simplex, finding no evidence of an increase in disability prior to July 27, 2022.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of an ascertainable increase in the severity of the Veteran's herpes simplex in the year prior to the date of her intent to file, and she did not file a notice of disagreement regarding the initial noncompensable rating assigned in August 2016.
