Partly granted
The Board restored the veteran's disability rating for traumatic cataract to 20 percent but denied an increased rating beyond that and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the reduction in the veteran's rating was not proper because the severity of symptoms did not reflect an overall improvement in function.
