The veteran's claims for increased evaluations of her sarcoidosis and a compensable evaluation for the residuals of a fracture of the second toe, right foot with traumatic arthritis were considered. The RO reduced the rating assigned to her sarcoidosis from 30 percent to 10 percent effective May 1, 1995, and from 60 percent to 30 percent effective March 1, 2006. Her claims for increased evaluations of her sarcoidosis were denied as there was no evidence showing that the disability warranted a higher evaluation during the periods in question. The claim for an increased evaluation for the residuals of the fracture of the second toe, right foot with traumatic arthritis was also denied.

The deciding factor: The RO found that the veteran's sarcoidosis did not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation at any time during the period under consideration and her claims were therefore denied. The claim for an increased evaluation for the residuals of the fracture of the second toe, right foot with traumatic arthritis was also denied as there was no evidence showing that the disability warranted a higher evaluation.
