Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable rating for genital herpes, migraine, and service connection for shin splints.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support characteristic lesions or intermittent systemic therapy required for a higher rating under DC 7815 for genital herpes; no prostrating attacks were reported for migraines; and there was no persuasive evidence of shin splints during the appeal period.
