Dismissed
The appeal for an effective date prior to January 4, 2023, for the award of a 40 percent rating for right upper extremity peripheral neuropathy and a 30 percent rating for left upper extremity peripheral neuropathy was dismissed as the issues were already fully adjudicated in a previous Board decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal is dismissed because the issues are identical to those previously decided, no new evidence was submitted, and there remain no additional errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.
