Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was denied. The claim for service connection for sarcoidosis was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's MGUS is asymptomatic and does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while the opinion on sarcoidosis was inadequate and required further examination.
