The Veteran's service-connected bilateral conjunctivitis was granted a 10 percent disability rating, while the claim for an initial compensable rating for left supraorbital neuritis was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's chronic conjunctivitis had been active and productive of symptoms from his discharge date, warranting a 10 percent rating. The claim for left supraorbital neuritis required further development before a decision could be made.
