Denied
The Board denied an increased compensable disability rating for scars on the right foot because the scars are not painful, unstable, or large enough to qualify. The Veteran can submit new evidence for reconsideration.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on medical examinations showing the scars were not painful or unstable and did not result in functional impairment.
