The Board restored the Veteran's hypothyroidism rating from 10 percent to 30 percent, as the reduction was not proper. The claims for an increased rating for migraines and TDIU were remanded.
The deciding factor: The probative medical evidence indicated that residuals of the Veteran's hypothyroidism may include respiratory systems, skin symptoms, and mental and psychological symptoms in addition to her reproductive symptoms, leading to a finding that separate ratings are warranted. The reduction was improper due to non-compliance with rating criteria.
