The Board granted a 60 percent rating for psoriasis prior to March 22, 2004, and denied an increased rating higher than 60 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's psoriasis required constant or near-constant systemic therapy such as corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs, which warranted a maximum schedular rating of 60 percent. However, there was no evidence to support a rating in excess of 60 percent at any point during the appeal period.
