The Veteran's verruca acuminata on scrotum and penis was granted an initial 10 percent rating prior to September 6, 2016. From September 6, 2016 onwards, a higher rating is denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran’s verruca acuminata did not meet the criteria for a higher rating as it did not affect at least 20 percent of his entire body or exposed areas and did not require systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs.
