The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a chronic disability manifested by fatigue due to an undiagnosed illness and for a compensable evaluation for his service-connected chronic dermatitis of the gluteal buttock area.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show significant changes in the veteran's condition that would warrant staged ratings, and there was no indication of constant exudation or extensive lesions as required for a higher rating under the applicable schedular criteria.
