The Veteran's erythema multiforme prevents him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation, and he is granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports that the Veteran's service-connected erythema multiforme renders him unable to obtain or follow substantially gainful employment.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's skin disabilities are associated with gas chamber training during service. The Board has ordered a VA examination to determine the presence and relation of these disabilities to his service.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for revision of a November 1969 rating decision that assigned a noncompensable rating for erythema multiforme, finding no clear and unmistakable error in the original determination.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is remanded for further development, including determining the appropriate effective date for his increased disability rating of 30 percent for erythema multiforme.
