Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for initial compensable ratings for scars on both lower extremities, as the evidence did not support a finding of painful or unstable scars measuring more than 929 square centimeters.
The deciding factor: The scars were found to be less than 929 square centimeters and neither tender nor unstable upon examination.
