The Veteran's service-connected recurrent uveitis has been rated at 10 percent since September 8, 2000. The Board finds that the evidence does not support a higher rating for this condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not demonstrate chronic impairment of central visual acuity or field loss, pain requiring rest, or episodic incapacity to warrant a higher rating under the applicable VA Rating Schedule criteria.
