Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a toenail condition and granted an initial 20 percent rating, but no higher, from August 10, 2022, for bilateral dry eye syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claim for a current disability involving his toenails, while there was sufficient evidence to grant service connection for bilateral dry eye syndrome based on persistent symptoms and treatment with artificial tears.
