Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, as the evidence did not support higher ratings or a grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The level of disability did not meet the criteria for higher ratings, and there was no sufficient evidence to establish a nexus between the claimed conditions and military service.
