Partly granted
The Veteran's appeal for increased ratings was denied, except for a grant of TDIU effective May 30, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to the managed nature of the Veteran's diabetes and neuropathy, but indicated that his service-connected disabilities precluded gainful employment since May 30, 2023.
