Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased disability evaluation for varicose veins of the left leg, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed asymptomatic but palpable varicose veins with intermittent symptoms relieved by elevation or compression hosiery, and no persistent edema, stasis pigmentation, eczema, or ulceration.
