The Board denied a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae and a rating in excess of 20 percent for lower back strain.

The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, and lower back strain as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or caused by active service.

The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae and a rating in excess of 10 percent for a left ankle disability due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including left and right eye dry eyes, cataracts of the left and right eyes, neuropathy of the left lower extremity, radiculopathy of the right lower extremity, left renal arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the lumbar spine, recurrent subluxation of the left knee prior to May 13, 2020, left total knee replacement, disability rating in excess of 60 percent from September 1, 2021, forward for left total knee replacement, DJD of the right knee, right knee instability, burns of the bilateral ankles, linear scar of the left knee, post-surgical tender scars of the left knee, and a total disability rating due to unemployability (TDIU) based upon service-connected disabilities prior to June 14, 2019.

The appeal for an initial compensable evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae was dismissed due to an improper concurrent election of review options.
