The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for plantar warts of the right foot effective from February 26, 2002. The veteran's claim was reopened on new evidence.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim was reopened and his service-connected condition was evaluated under the criteria for scars due to its impact on function rather than solely as a skin disability.
