Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for psoriasis as the evidence did not show that her condition involved greater than 20 percent of the entire body or exposed areas affected, nor required systemic therapy.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's psoriasis affected less than five percent of her total and exposed skin area, and no systemic therapy was required for six weeks or more during the past year.
