The Board granted an initial 10 percent evaluation for pedunculated warts of the face, neck and hands, effective from September 30, 1996. The Board also found that a 10 percent initial evaluation was warranted for residuals of a right foot injury.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected pedunculated warts were characterized as no more than mild to moderately disfiguring and tender to the touch throughout the rating period on appeal, with cicatrization or keloid formation, color contrast, and tissue loss. The residuals of his right foot injury were manifested by subjective complaints of pain and an antalgic gait.
