The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for verruca vulgaris was granted, with the condition covered less than 5% of his body and requiring no more than topical therapy during the past year. The issues of service connection for back disability, bilateral eye disability, and ulcers were also addressed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's verruca vulgaris met the criteria for a noncompensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7806 due to its minimal coverage (less than 5%) and topical therapy requirements.
