The Veteran's plantar callosities and warts are rated at 10 percent disabling. The Board has found that the evidence does not support a higher rating, as they do not meet the criteria for deeper or more extensive scars.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of the evidence shows that the Veteran’s plantar callosities and warts do not cause adverse symptomatology that equates to at least 12 square inches (77 sq. cm.) of deep scar tissue, three painful or unstable scars, or other functional impairment.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
What you can do next
