DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied the veteran's claims for earlier effective dates, compensable ratings, and service connection due to a lack of evidence supporting these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an earlier effective date or a higher rating as it was insufficient to establish the presence of the claimed conditions or their severity.
