Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent initial rating for residual scars from basal cell carcinoma and service connection for chronic kidney disease, which was caused by the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus and hypertensive vascular disease. The claims for service connection for a cervical spine disability and headaches were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board granted the 10 percent initial rating based on one painful scar and the service connection for chronic kidney disease because it was caused by the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, but remanded the other two claims as they require further development.
