Partly granted
The veteran's appeal for a higher rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) was partially granted. The Board assigned an initial compensable rating of 10 percent for PFB, but denied a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's PFB affected at least 5 percent but less than 20 percent of exposed areas, warranting a 10 percent rating.
