The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's bilateral tinea pedis and remanded the claim for service connection for bilateral calluses of the metatarsal heads.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's tinea pedis affected at least 5 percent of his body or exposed areas, nor required intermittent systemic therapy. The calluses were found to be less likely than not related to the service-connected tinea pedis and no other etiology was identified.
