The Veteran's anemia is currently rated at 30 percent, and the Board has found no evidence to warrant a higher rating.,The Veteran's restless leg syndrome of the right and left lower extremities is currently rated at 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show objective findings of dyspnea or palpitation that would support an increased evaluation in excess of 30 percent for anemia, nor does it show moderate to severe incomplete paralysis of the sciatic nerve required for a higher rating.

What this means for you

What you can do next
