Granted
The veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus is rated at 40 percent. The decision is based on the veteran's need for daily insulin injections, a restricted diet, and regulation of activities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms warrant a 40 percent disability rating for his diabetes over the entire time frame on appeal.
