Denied
The Board denied service connection for thrombocytopenia purpura and higher ratings for several other conditions due to lack of evidence or failure to attend scheduled VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of a diagnosis for thrombocytopenia purpura and the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations.
