The veteran's dyshidrotic eczema is manifested by extensive lesions covering 20 to 40 percent of his body with constant itching, exudation, and some crusting. The Board has determined that a 30 percent rating is appropriate under the revised criteria for eczema.
The deciding factor: The veteran's skin disability has worsened in severity sufficient to warrant a 30 percent rating, and no higher, under either the old or the revised criteria.
