Partly granted
The Board granted a separate noncompensable rating for tinea pedis with plantar hyperhidrosis and onychomycosis, effective July 29, 2021, and an earlier effective date of July 29, 2021, for the award of service connection for mixed incontinence. The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tinea pedis with plantar hyperhidrosis and onychomycosis was found to be a separate disability from his pes planus, warranting a noncompensable rating. The Board granted an earlier effective date for mixed incontinence based on the Veteran's continuous pursuit of this claim.
