The VA has determined that the veteran's service-connected skin disorder of the feet and right wrist does not warrant a rating in excess of zero percent.
The deciding factor: The veteran's skin disorder, while chronic and occasionally pruritic, does not meet the criteria for any higher schedular evaluation under the current VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
