Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to September 19, 2022, for the grant of a 10 percent disability rating for anterior trunk scars and vacated its previous decision dismissing the appeal as untimely.
The deciding factor: The appellant's scars did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating or an earlier effective date prior to September 19, 2022, based on the evidence of record.
