The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for sarcoidosis and remanded the claim for service connection for a right elbow disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of sarcoidosis did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, as his condition did not require corticosteroids or show evidence of cor pulmonale, cardiac involvement with congestive heart failure, or progressive pulmonary disease with fever, night sweats, and weight loss despite treatment.
