The Board dismissed the appeal for an increased evaluation greater than 20 percent for diabetes mellitus as it was not reasonably raised by the record prior to the Veteran's death.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not reasonably raise the possibility that the Veteran's claims for service connection resulted in the issue of entitlement to an increase in diabetes.
