Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected disabilities, including a left thigh scar, left thigh puncture wound, cluster headaches, and obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher disability ratings as the conditions were found to be noncompensably disabling or only warranted the lowest 10 percent rating based on the criteria provided by VA regulations.
