The Board denied the veteran's claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for tinea versicolor with residual scarring and service connection for hysterectomy residuals. The issues of entitlement to service connection for anxiety disorder and scoliosis were not perfected.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a higher initial rating for the veteran's tinea versicolor or establish that her hysterectomy residuals were related to active service.
