Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded several other issues, including chronic kidney disease, headaches, TDIU, and DEA eligibility.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a higher rating for tinnitus, PTSD, or tinea corporis, and there was no factually ascertainable increase in symptoms to warrant an increased rating for PTSD. The hypertension claim was remanded due to the need for further development.
