Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable initial rating for scars left shoulder as the evidence did not support that the scars were unstable or painful, and their total area was less than 929 sq. cm.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of unstable or painful scars, and the total area of the scars was insufficient to warrant a compensable rating under applicable criteria.
