Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 30% for eczema with lichenification. The Veteran's condition requires systemic therapy but not constantly.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows the Veteran uses topical corticosteroids and immunosuppressive ointments for more than six weeks at a time, meeting the criteria for a 30 percent disability rating but not the 60 percent rating.
