The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, dismissing or denying all appeals.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for any of the conditions appealed, as it failed to meet the criteria set forth in the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (Rating Schedule).
