- Granted
The Veteran's back disability is rated at 60 percent, the maximum rating available under Diagnostic Code 5237 for intervertebral disc syndrome. The Board finds that the evidence supports this rating as it includes incapacitating episodes of intervertebral disc syndrome lasting at least six weeks during the past twelve months.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's claimed conditions, including CNS sarcoidosis and its secondary effects such as pancytopenia, seizure disorder, perirectal abscesses, left thigh abscess, diabetes mellitus, and abnormal liver function tests, were not incurred or aggravated by service. The evidence does not support a finding of direct service connection for these conditions.
