Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected hypothyroidism and remanded the claim for service connection for lipomas (claimed as cysts surgery).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypothyroidism produced any current findings, signs, or symptoms that were compensable under the pertinent diagnostic criteria.
