Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for a scar on his right medial distal foot as a residual of bunionectomy, finding that the evidence did not support a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The scar was found to be non-painful, stable, and with a total area of 0.765cm2, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under applicable VA regulations.
