The Board has granted a 10 percent evaluation for the veteran's service-connected tinea cruris, which clearly interferes with his normal employability. The veteran does not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating under 38 C.F.R. � 3.324 due to having multiple noncompensable service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The veteran's tinea cruris, which is considered a separate disability from his other noncompensable conditions, clearly interferes with his normal employability and warrants a compensable evaluation under the provisions of 38 C.F.R. � 4.118.
