The Board has granted a 10 percent rating for eczema from August 19, 2015 to July 24, 2018 and denied any rating in excess of 10 percent since July 25, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's eczema affected less than 20% of his exposed areas but did not meet the criteria for a higher rating based on systemic therapy or exposure to specific hazards.
