Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for PTSD, diabetes mellitus type II, left and right lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, and a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for higher disability ratings due to their severity and frequency being more closely aligned with the current ratings.
