The Veteran's right great toe disability is rated at 30 percent, the maximum schedular rating available for amputation of the great toe without metatarsal involvement.

The Veteran's lichen simplex chronicus has affected less than 5 percent of his entire body and less than 5 percent of exposed areas, requiring only topical therapy. The Board finds that a compensable rating is not warranted.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for right hip arthritis, finding that there was no evidence of a current disability present in service or within one year of discharge. The Board also found that the Veteran's right hip condition is not etiologically related to his service-connected right knee condition.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient medical opinions regarding the Veteran's skin disability and its relation to his service, specifically Agent Orange exposure.
