Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for chloracne, finding it did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent evaluation under DC 7829.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examination found that the Veteran's skin disability was superficial acne and did not cover more than 20% of his body area, thus not meeting the criteria for a compensable rating.
