The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for tension type headaches, a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae, and service connection for left and right elbow conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the veteran experienced headaches with very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability or that his pseudofolliculitis barbae met the criteria for a compensable rating. There was also no current left or right elbow condition to establish service connection.
