Partly granted
The Board granted an initial increased rating of 10 percent for the Veteran's scar, lumbosacral spine and remanded other issues due to a need for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's scar was found to be painful, warranting a 10 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 7804. The back disability claim required further development before a decision could be made.
