Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating higher than 60 percent for eczema, as the evidence did not support a higher evaluation based on the criteria available.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's eczema did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Codes 7800 or 7806 due to the absence of visible or palpable tissue loss and gross distortion or asymmetry of three or more features or paired sets of features, nor six characteristics of disfigurement.
