Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for service-connected alopecia totalis, as there is no evidence of hair loss beyond the scalp and face.
The deciding factor: The VA examination found that the Veteran's hair loss was limited to her scalp and face, not meeting the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 7831.
