Denied
The Board denied the claim for a rating in excess of 60 percent since June 1, 1982, for herpes simplex virus (HSV) as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's HSV was rated at 60 percent based on constant use of systemic treatment with suppressive drugs. The criteria for a higher rating were not met.
