The veteran's pituitary microadenoma has been rated at 10 percent since May 24, 2002. The VA determined that the condition is currently controlled with medication and does not meet criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The veteran's pituitary microadenoma was in remission with no effects on usual daily activities, and there were no objective symptoms warranting a higher rating.
