The VA denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for venereal warts, finding that his service-connected condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence showed that the veteran's venereal warts were manifested by slight itching without any significant disfigurement or functional impairment.
