Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 40 percent disability rating for bilateral eye disabilities but denied ratings for abdominal scars, hypertension, and remanded claims related to thrombosis and arthritis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 40 percent rating based on the Veteran's visual acuity and diplopia in both eyes, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for compensation.
