Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded several issues related to her left knee, right knee, left ankle, right ankle, and low back disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of deep acne affecting less than 40 percent of the face and neck or functional loss in the left wrist disability that would warrant higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
