Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating greater than 20 percent for diabetes mellitus, type II, as the evidence did not show that the condition required regulation of activities or met other criteria for higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's DM II did not require insulin, a restricted diet, and regulation of activities, nor any symptoms more severe than those contemplated by the 20 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7913.
