The veteran's service-connected dyshidrotic eczema of both feet is characterized by constant objective symptomatology varying from large blisters, to smaller papules or nodules, to scaling or crusted areas with evidence of past outbreaks in the form of discoloration. The Board has determined that a rating of 30 percent for this condition meets the schedular criteria.
The deciding factor: The veteran's constant objective symptomatology, including large blisters and strong pain, is commensurate with the rating criteria for a rating of 30 percent under Diagnostic Code 7806.
