Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for various service-connected conditions, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating under applicable criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions did not manifest with more severe symptoms to warrant a higher rating than the currently assigned 10 percent or non-compensable ratings.
