Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 60 percent for chronic vitritis and birdshot chorioretinopathy from May 13, 2018, but denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent prior to that date and also denied entitlement to Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic vitritis and birdshot chorioretinopathy required constant systemic immunosuppressant therapy, meeting the criteria for a 60 percent rating under the revised eye disability regulations.
