The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, except for granting service connection for a left knee disorder secondary to his right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the eye injury or headaches, and the right shoulder disorder was not shown to be related to military service. The left knee disorder was found to be secondary to the service-connected right knee condition.
