Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for left facial scarring as the evidence did not support a finding of disfigurement or other characteristics warranting a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The scars were found to be stable, non-painful, and with less than one square centimeter in total area, failing to meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7800.
