Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, as there was no evidence supporting a compensable rating or service connection for any of the claimed conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a compensable rating based on body area affected, visual acuity, or intermittent systemic therapy. Service connection was denied due to lack of in-service incurrence or aggravation and absence of a causal relationship between the current disabilities and service.
