Granted
The Board granted an effective date of July 23, 2019, for the award of service connection for diabetic neuropathy in all extremities.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's diabetic neuropathy arose on July 23, 2019, and such an effective date is therefore warranted.
