The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for dermatophytosis of the feet was denied, and her TDIU on an extraschedular basis is also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for a schedular rating in excess of 10 percent for the service-connected dermatophytosis of the feet. The Veteran's employment termination due to skin disorder of the feet was not considered as part of her TDIU claim, as it pertained to an extraschedular basis.
