The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder as it was caused by the Veteran's service-connected skin disabilities. The other issues were remanded for further development.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an increased rating and service connection for various skin disabilities, finding that the evidence did not support a higher disability rating or establish a link between the claimed conditions and his military service.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have precluded him from securing and following substantially gainful employment, granting a total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
- Dismissed
The appeal for increased ratings for acne, left hip flexion, and right hip flexion was dismissed due to an erroneous docketing by the Board.
