The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for dermatitis and remanded the service connection claim for a right knee disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's dermatitis did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while the evidence was insufficient to make a determination on the right knee disorder due to missing medical opinions.
