Partly granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 20 percent for bilateral plantar warts but denied a higher rating for PTSD. The claims for service connection for right maxillary neurofibroma, COPD, and hammer toes were reopened.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD did not meet the criteria for a 100 percent rating due to occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas. However, he was granted a 20 percent rating for his plantar warts as they were analogous to three painful scars.
