Partly granted
The Board granted increased ratings for the Veteran's varicose veins of both lower extremities and a separate rating for her sleep disability, but denied entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms warranted higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes, and the sleep impairment was found to be secondary to her service-connected varicose veins disabilities.
