Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for hypothyroidism and remanded claims for separate ratings for an eye disability and skin disability as residuals of the service-connected hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypothyroidism was found to be stable without myxedema or systemic manifestations that would support a compensable evaluation under DC 7903, while the Board remanded claims for separate ratings for an eye and skin disability as residuals of the service-connected condition.
