Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for diabetes mellitus type II and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, as well as remanded claims for an increased rating for posttraumatic stress disorder and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher disability evaluation for diabetes mellitus type II or a separate rating for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The Board also found that the Veteran's PTSD symptoms did not warrant a higher rating at this time, but remanded the claims for further development and examination.
