The Board denied service connection for dermatitis seborrheic and pseudofolliculitis, granted a 30 percent disability rating for menorrhagia, and remanded several other issues including service connection claims for various disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities for dermatitis seborrheic and pseudofolliculitis. For menorrhagia, symptoms were not controlled by continuous treatment, warranting a 30 percent rating.

The Veteran was granted a 70 percent initial disability rating for PTSD effective December 2, 2021, but the claim for an increased rating in excess of 70 percent was denied.

- Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew the appeal for an increased rating of his service-connected PTSD during a Board hearing, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.
