Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for various service-connected conditions and granted a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to the specific symptoms and their impact on the Veteran's daily life, with the exception of granting TDIU.
