Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher disability rating and TDIU, as his duodenal ulcer symptoms were no more than mild in severity throughout the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The appellant's duodenal ulcer did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to its mild nature and infrequent severe episodes.
