Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for the Veteran's right eye disability, but denied an increased rating and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding of visible tissue loss and asymmetry in one paired set of features, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7800. However, there was no evidence supporting a visual field defect or other criteria for higher ratings.
