Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for a right shin scar, as the evidence did not support a higher rating under applicable criteria.
The deciding factor: The scar measured 1.5 square centimeters and was not associated with underlying soft tissue damage or other factors that would warrant a compensable rating.
