Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings or a grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's varicose veins do not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 40 percent, and there is no evidence to support a current right thigh disorder related to her military service.
