Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating in excess of 20 percent for diabetes mellitus type II, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's diabetes required one or more daily injections of insulin, an oral hypoglycemic agent and restricted diet, which most closely approximated a 20 percent rating under DC 7913. There was no medical evidence to warrant a higher rating.
