The Veteran's service-connected heloma molle, interspace between left fourth and fifth toes, is currently rated at 10 percent under the old criteria. The Board has determined that this rating is appropriate based on the symptoms described.
The deciding factor: The current rating schedule adequately reflects the Veteran's symptomatology of pain, itching, instability, tissue loss, hypopigmentation, and abnormal texture without requiring a separate rating for these issues.
