Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates of August 14, 2015, for the grants of service connection for right elbow medical epicondylitis and limitation of flexion, as well as bilateral flat feet. The grant was denied for left elbow overuse syndrome.
The deciding factor: The claims were reasonably raised by the record prior to December 2022, based on evidence of record indicating the presence of these conditions during service and diagnoses in November 2015 VA examinations.
