Denied

The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a combined schedular service-connected rating higher than 60 percent, as the calculation of the combined disability rating using the Combined Ratings Table is correct.

The deciding factor: The Board found no legal grounds to assign a combined schedular rating higher than 60 percent based on the application of the Combined Ratings Table and existing regulations.
