The veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for angioneurotic edema/cold urticaria was denied as there is no current evidence of treatment or recurrent debilitating episodes.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to report for a scheduled VA examination, and there is no current evidence of treatment or recurrent debilitating episodes of cold urticaria or attacks of angioneurotic edema with or without laryngeal involvement.
