Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae and service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability due to the condition, but remanded matters related to scars and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the percentage of exposed area involved by the Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae and a finding that his psychiatric symptoms were secondary to the skin condition.
