The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that the evidence did not support higher disability ratings or service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic headaches were found to be consistent with a 30 percent rating, while her left knee disability was found to have no limitation of flexion sufficient to warrant a higher rating. Service connection for bilateral hearing loss and other conditions was denied due to insufficient evidence supporting the claims.
