Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent for dry eye syndrome, finding that the Veteran's condition affects both eyes and meets the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA examiner determined that the Veteran has dry eye syndrome affecting both eyes, which more closely approximates the criteria for a 20 percent rating under DC 6025.
