The Board granted service connection for tinea pedis and remanded claims for increased rating and additional service connection.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise that the Veteran's tinea pedis is related to his service, while other conditions did not meet the criteria for service connection or an initial compensable rating.
