Partly granted
The Board denied an increased evaluation for the bilateral eye disability based on visual field impairment but granted a separate 10 percent evaluation, effective August 19, 2024, based on visual acuity impairment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's visual acuity impairment since August 19, 2024, which met the criteria for a separate 10 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Codes 6006-6066.
