The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected cold-induced urticaria is currently evaluated as 10 percent disabling and does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7825. The veteran's left hip disability was granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not demonstrate recurrent debilitating episodes or intermittent systemic immunosuppressive therapy, which are required for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7825.
