The Board granted service connection for peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower and upper extremities secondary to diabetes but denied service connection for Meniere's syndrome. The claim for an increased rating for coronary artery disease was also denied.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's peripheral neuropathy of the bilateral lower and upper extremities were related to his service-connected diabetes, while Meniere's syndrome was not linked to any in-service injury or condition. The claim for an increased rating for coronary artery disease did not meet the criteria.
