Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher rating for chronic costochondritis, finding that her symptoms more closely align with a moderate disability rather than a moderately severe or severe one.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's chronic costochondritis resulted in an inability to keep up with work requirements.
