Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for asbestosis with bilateral pleural plaques and dismissed the appeal for service connection for scoliosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's respiratory disability warranted a higher 60 percent rating, and he withdrew his appeal for service connection for scoliosis at an August 2025 Board hearing.
