The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded a claim for service connection for a left leg disability.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to the lack of additional functional impairment beyond that already contemplated by the assigned ratings, and there was no basis for granting service connection for a left leg disability based on the available evidence.
