Granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for the Veteran's bilateral dry eye syndrome, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the claimant.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the assignment of a 20 percent rating for the Veteran's bilateral dry eye syndrome for the entire period on appeal, as it was noted that there was tear film debris on his corneas and a current diagnosis of bilateral dry eye syndrome was provided.
