Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for sarcoidosis but granted service connection for a left eye disorder, including glaucoma and a bilateral hand disorder as secondary to sarcoidosis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's sarcoidosis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while his left eye disorder and bilateral hand disorder were linked to his service-connected condition.
