Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) based on the medical evidence showing that his platelet count was within the range requiring only a 30 percent rating and did not meet criteria for higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's ITP did not require immunosuppressive therapy, nor did it have a platelet count high enough to warrant a higher rating under the applicable diagnostic code.
