The Board denied service connection for sickle cell anemia trait and granted a 10 percent evaluation for atopic dermatitis. The veteran appealed the decision, and the case was remanded due to VCAA issues. The appeal is mixed as some issues were granted while others were not.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish service connection for sickle cell anemia trait but reopened the claim for increased evaluation of atopic dermatitis based on new evidence.
