Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and a TDIU, as the evidence did not support higher ratings or unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were fully contemplated by the assigned ratings, and there was no evidence of distinct manifestations that warranted a higher rating under different diagnostic codes.
