The Veteran's claim for an increased disability rating in excess of 10 percent for left eye uveitis was denied. The case is remanded to consider entitlement to extraschedular ratings and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher schedular rating, but the Board referred the case to the Director, Compensation Service, for consideration of an extraschedular rating and TDIU as these issues were not adjudicated in the original decision on appeal.
