Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for varicose veins but denied service connection for a skin condition other than actinic keratosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance to support the Veteran's claim for varicose veins, while the medical opinion against his claim for a skin condition was found more persuasive.
