Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a compensable rating for bilateral tinea pedis (foot fungus) because the condition did not meet the criteria for such a rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's condition did not involve more than 5 percent of the body or exposed areas affected, nor did it require systemic therapy for a total duration of less than six weeks during the past 12-month period.
