Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for hypopigmented macules and denied service connection for hypercholesterolemia, while remanding several other claims for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypopigmented macules met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for the Skin. Hypercholesterolemia was not considered a disability for which VA compensation benefits are payable.
