Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the veteran's chloracne because it was rated as noncompensable based on superficial acne with no scarring or disfigurement.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's chloracne did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Code 7829, which requires deep acne or other severe symptoms.
