Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a skin disorder diagnosed as seborrheic keratosis, and increased the rating for ischemic heart disease (IHD) to 60 percent from June 8, 2021. Other claims were denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding whether the Veteran's skin disorder was etiologically related to his active-duty service, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for service connection or increased ratings.
