The Board has granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's nummular eczema with keratosis pilaris from January 29, 2015 to June 14, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the condition affected more than 5% but less than 20% of the entire body by this time period, warranting a 10 percent rating under the old regulations.
