Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded several service connection claims due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, and there was no evidence of three or more unstable or painful scars. The claims for service connection were remanded due to the need for an examination that provides sufficient rationale.
