Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable disability rating for bilateral foot fungus as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was manifested by no more than topical therapy required with less than 5 percent of the entire body affected and less than 5 percent of exposed areas affected, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7813.
