Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected dry eye syndrome is granted a 20 percent evaluation, while his left leg scar does not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's bilateral dry eye syndrome warrants a 20 percent evaluation due to its symptomatic nature and impact on daily activities, whereas his left leg scar is too small to warrant a compensable evaluation under applicable regulations.
