Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for psoriasis and remanded the claim for an initial compensable rating for eczema. However, it granted initial 10 percent ratings for left and right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psoriasis was not shown to be related to his military service due to a lack of current disability, while the knee conditions were found to cause painful motion warranting minimum compensable ratings under DC 5257.
