Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an increased rating and TDIU, as the evidence did not support a higher schedular rating or entitlement to a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be adequately addressed by the current 10 percent ratings, and there was no evidence of an exceptional disability picture that warranted extraschedular consideration. The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not meet the criteria for a TDIU.
