The Board has granted an initial 40 percent disability rating for the veteran's pituitary tumor with prolactinoma and assigned a separate noncompensable rating for his anhidrosis. The effective date is September 2, 2005.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran's pituitary tumor with prolactinoma has not been manifested by severe diabetes insipidus characterized by excessive thirst and polyuria requiring parenteral hydration in the past year. His anhidrosis, however, is shown to be unresponsive to therapy.

- Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for hyperthermia and residuals, anhidrosis, a heart disorder, and a skin disorder due to the Veteran's death.
- Denied
The Veteran's anhidrosis has been manifested by swelling, redness, night sweats, and weight gain. The disability is currently rated at 10 percent under DC 7825 for recurrent debilitating episodes occurring at least four times during the past 12-month period and responding to treatment with antihistamines or sympathomimetics.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an extraschedular evaluation for his service-connected anhidrosis, finding that the disability picture did not present such an exceptional or unusual case as to render impractical the application of the regular schedular standards.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
