Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for earlier effective dates and initial compensable ratings for tinea pedis, onychomycosis, and lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rating as the Veteran's claims were received after one year of separation from service and the criteria for increased ratings were not met based on the evidence provided.
