Denied
The appeal for an initial compensable evaluation for service-connected anterior trunk scars was denied as the evidence did not support a compensable rating under any applicable diagnostic code.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's anterior trunk scars do not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Codes 7800-7805, as they are not unstable or painful and do not cover an area of at least 39 square centimeters.
