Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's horizontal scar of lower abdominal area, anterior trunk as there was no evidence showing that the condition met the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The scar did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7802 as it was not painful or unstable and its area did not exceed six square inches (39 square centimeters).
