Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or separate disability ratings as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for more severe ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
