The Board granted service connection for restless leg syndrome with an initial evaluation of 10 percent, but denied a total rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran's symptoms warranted a higher rating than 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 8525.
