The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for eczema, but denied a compensable rating for bilateral tinea pedis.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the use of systemic therapy for eczema, which warranted a higher rating, while there was no indication of a need for systemic therapy for tinea pedis.
