Partly granted

The veteran's claim for service connection of skin conditions other than dermatitis was denied. The veteran was granted a 10 percent rating for dermatitis but denied higher ratings for diabetes and TDIU.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's skin conditions were not etiologically related to service, and his diabetes did not require regulation of activities.

Claimed conditions
skin condition of the scalp, ears, forehead, or neck, diabetes mellitus, type II (diabetes), dermatitis
How they argued it
