Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a higher rating for basal cell carcinoma, head and face. The evidence did not support a rating higher than 50 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's scars from basal cell carcinoma did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, such as visible or palpable tissue loss or gross distortion of facial features.
