The Board denied the Veteran's claims for higher initial evaluations for his right eyebrow and left knee scars, as well as his service connection claims for coronary artery disease, brain aneurysm, memory loss, and right ear hearing loss. The Veteran's PTSD claim was also denied.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence of a compensable scar or any other condition that would warrant the requested increased ratings. The Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to support the service connection claims for coronary artery disease, brain aneurysm, memory loss, and right ear hearing loss.
