Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for Raynaud's syndrome, left eye chronic conjunctivitis with residual bilateral dry eye syndrome and bilateral corneal scars, and bilateral recurrent pneumothoraces.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet or approximate the criteria for higher ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
