Denied
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for tinea pedis was denied because the condition does not affect at least five percent of the body area and does not require systemic therapy.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the veteran's tinea pedis is subject to topical treatment but does not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
