Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for dermatophytosis (toenail fungus) was dismissed as the benefit sought has been granted in full. The issue of service connection for migraines is remanded for further review.
The deciding factor: The grant of service connection for dermatophytosis on a direct basis rendered the appeal moot, and the Board found an inadequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's migraines necessitated a remand.
