The veteran's pruritis ani is granted a 10 percent evaluation, effective from the date of this decision.
The deciding factor: The disability picture presented more nearly approximates the criteria for an evaluation of 10 percent under Diagnostic Code 7806 due to involvement of an extensive area and exfoliation, but not constant exudation or itching, extensive lesions, or marked disfigurement which would warrant a higher rating.
