Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for several service-connected conditions and granted some separate evaluations, while remanding others.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence of record did not show that the Veteran's service-connected conditions manifested to a degree more severe than currently rated or as required by the applicable rating criteria.
