Denied
The Board denied service connection for a respiratory disorder and an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for pseudofolliculitis barbae.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current respiratory disorder or that the Veteran's PFB warranted a higher disability rating, as it affected less than five percent of the total body area and exposed areas, and was treated with over-the-counter topical treatment only.
