The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a penile skin disorder and higher initial ratings for his hands and legs conditions.,Service connection was not granted as there is no evidence of a current disability. The veteran's dyshidrotic dermatitis of the hands, however, was rated at 10 percent effective October 23, 2001.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical evidence did not show any chronic residuals from service-connected conditions and thus denied service connection for a penile skin disorder.,For his hands condition, the Board noted that while the veteran had a history of dyshidrotic dermatitis in service, there was no current disability shown by the medical evidence. The 10 percent rating assigned is based on the old criteria.
