Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of melanoma of the left upper back and denied initial compensable ratings for a left upper back scar and a nose scar.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not show that the Veteran's scars met the criteria for a compensable rating under applicable diagnostic codes.
