Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for bilateral dry eye syndrome but remanded the claim for service connection for alopecia.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported symptoms of bilateral eye dryness, redness, and watery eyes with occasional burning sensation supported a 20 percent rating under DC 6025. The VA examination was found inadequate to address the etiology of the Veteran's alopecia.
