Denied
The Board denied a disability rating higher than 10 percent for onychomycosis of the bilateral great toes based on the evidence showing that the condition did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under any applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reported pain was not credible and that his onychomycosis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Codes 7804 or other relevant codes.
