The Board denied a compensable rating for trichuriasis as there were no symptoms or residuals of the condition during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: There are no symptoms or residuals related to the Veteran's trichuriasis at any time during the appeal period, and therefore the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7399-7324 have not been met.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
