Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for his right inguinal scar (painful) as there was no evidence to support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The record did not demonstrate that the Veteran had good cause to miss his examination or that he has three or four scars that are unstable and/or painful, which would warrant a higher rating.
