Granted
The Board granted service connection for a skin condition, diagnosed as stress induced urticaria, finding that the Veteran's current condition was not pre-existing and was not aggravated by his service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly and unmistakably show that the Veteran's skin condition both existed prior to service and was not aggravated by service. Therefore, because he was normal at entrance to service with respect to this disability, the criteria for service connection have been met.
