Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's residuals of skin cancer as they do not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show any characteristics of disfigurement or other factors that would warrant a compensable rating, and the Veteran is not competent to establish the extent of his condition without medical expertise.
