The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for hypothyroidism and remanded the claim for a compensable rating for hyperparathyroidism.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypothyroidism did not manifest as myxedema, and there was no evidence of cardiovascular involvement or mental disturbances attributable to his condition. The Board found that the current 30 percent rating accurately reflected the severity of his symptoms.
