The Veteran's service-connected dermatitis/eczema has been rated as noncompensable since June 13, 2007. The condition affects less than 5% of the entire body and less than 5% of exposed areas, with no systemic therapy required.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s dermatitis/eczema does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating as it does not affect at least 5% of his entire body or exposed areas, nor has he received any intermittent systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs.
