The Veteran's salpingectomy scar is rated at a noncompensable level, but granted an initial 10 percent rating.,The Veteran’s amputation scar of the left middle finger remains at a noncompensable level.,A TDIU has been granted based on service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The salpingectomy scar is rated under Diagnostic Code 7805, and as it does not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to instability or pain, a noncompensable rating remains appropriate.,The amputation scar of the left middle finger was found to be stable and did not limit motion or ability to function, thus warranting only a noncompensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7804.,Given the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, she is deemed unable to secure and follow substantially gainful employment.
