The Board denied increased ratings for eczema (pseudofolliculitis) and low back sprain with intervertebral disc syndrome, as well as earlier effective dates for these conditions. The issues related to the right side sciatic nerve radiculopathy, right side femoral nerve radiculopathy, right knee strain, and left knee condition were remanded.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or an earlier effective date for the service-connected conditions as required by the applicable regulations.
