The Board has granted service connection for the veteran's right knee, left knee and right hip disabilities but denied a compensable disability evaluation under 38 C.F.R. � 3.324.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for fibromyalgia, a disability rating higher than 0 percent for photophobia with dry eye syndrome, and an initial disability rating higher than 0 percent for right knee scars. The claims for increased ratings were denied due to the Veteran's failure to appear for scheduled VA examinations.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for tinnitus and remanded the remaining issues due to new evidence and need for additional examinations.
- Denied

- Remanded (sent back)
