The Veteran's skin disorders were granted a higher rating effective June 26, 2012. The claim to reopen for left lower extremity limb length discrepancy was granted and service connection is established. Service connection for the right leg disorder remains pending.
The deciding factor: Service connection for the right leg disorder has not been established as it relates to a current disability that had its onset in service, but does not have evidence of aggravation by a service-connected condition.
