Denied
The Board denied the claims for an earlier effective date as no new and relevant evidence was received to reopen or readjudicate the claims.
The deciding factor: The VA treatment records submitted were not new or relevant, as they did not show that the Veteran's conditions warranted higher ratings prior to the assigned dates.
