The Board has determined that the veteran currently does not have bilateral plantar warts and therefore, a compensable evaluation is denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows that the veteran currently does not have plantar warts and no current symptomatology was reported during his March 1998 VA examination.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's left shoulder, right shoulder, and tinnitus disabilities as they were not related to his service. The claims for GERD, a hiatal hernia, and bilateral plantar warts were remanded for further development.
- Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 20 percent for bilateral plantar warts but denied a higher rating for PTSD. The claims for service connection for right maxillary neurofibroma, COPD, and hammer toes were reopened.
- Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for persistent depressive disorder, moderate, in partial remission was dismissed by the Veteran. The Board will remand the issue of service connection for bilateral plantar warts.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claims for bilateral plantar warts, chronic fatigue syndrome (claimed as residuals of mononucleosis), and hemorrhoids to include as secondary to service-connected irritable bowel syndrome.,For chronic fatigue syndrome, the VA examination is inadequate because it does not address the Veteran's symptoms and discuss the exclusion of all other clinical conditions that may produce similar symptoms.
