Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Veteran's skin allergies were found not to meet the criteria for a compensable rating, as his symptoms did not result in at least five percent of his entire body or exposed areas being affected.
- Granted
The Veteran's claim for SMC is granted, effective February 1, 2021. The decision is based on the combination of his service-connected PTSD and other disabilities that independently rate at least 60 percent.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection are being remanded due to the need for additional examinations and an opinion regarding the relationship between current vision loss and in-service radiofrequency radiation exposure.
- Granted
The Veteran's seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp was reduced from a 30 percent rating to zero percent effective December 1, 2020. The Board has restored the 30 percent rating for the Veteran's seborrheic dermatitis as it found that there is at least equipoise evidence of improvement in her ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
