Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 10 percent evaluation for a painful right wrist scar status post ganglion cyst removal, but denied a compensable evaluation for the right wrist scar.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt, the Veteran's one painful scar warranted a 10 percent evaluation under DC 7804, while no evidence supported a higher or additional rating under other applicable criteria.
