Granted
The Board granted an initial 40 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus type II, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran required daily insulin injections, a restricted diet, and regulation of activities to manage his DM II, meeting the criteria for a 40 percent rating under DC 7913.
