Partly granted
The Board granted a 10% rating for the right ankle scar and onychomycosis, but denied service connection for hypertension, GERD, IBS, lumbar spine strain, PTSD, and cirrhosis of the liver.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for service connection or a higher rating for his disabilities, except for the right ankle scar and onychomycosis which met the criteria for a 10% rating.
