Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's right-inguinal hernia as there was no evidence to support a 10%, 30%, or 60% evaluation under both old and new criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's inguinal hernia did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating because it was not postoperative recurrent, well supported by a truss or belt, or large enough to warrant a higher rating under the new criteria.
