The Veteran's right foot plantar wart has been rated as 10 percent disabling since July 8, 2008. The Board finds that the evidence does not support a higher rating due to the nature of his condition and symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right foot plantar wart is evaluated under diagnostic codes for benign skin neoplasms (Code 7819) and superficial scars (Codes 7802-7804). The evidence does not show any deep or unstable scars, nor does it demonstrate an area exceeding the maximum rating criteria.
