Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had myxedema or any residuals of disease or medical treatment within six months of his initial diagnosis, which would warrant a higher rating under DC 7903.
