The Board denied a compensable disability rating for the Veteran's dermatophytosis as it did not meet the criteria for even a noncompensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record showed that the Veteran's dermatophytosis was manifested by characteristic lesions involving less than 5 percent of exposed areas affected or the entire body and no more than topical therapy required over the past 12-month period, which corresponds to a noncompensable disability rating under Diagnostic Code 7813.
