Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's residuals, status post bilateral inguinal hernia repair and granted a 10 percent evaluation for surgical scars, status-post bilateral inguinal hernia repair.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show recurrence of the inguinal hernias or any disabling effects from the scars that would warrant a compensable rating under the applicable criteria.
