Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of an increased rating of 80 percent for IGA nephropathy with chronic kidney disease stage IV and bilateral kidney cysts, as it was not factually ascertainable that an increase in disability had occurred within one year prior to January 25, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a factually ascertainable increase in disability within the one-year period preceding the date of receipt of the claim for increased compensation.
