The Board dismissed claims for pseudofolliculitis barbae residual anterior neck scars and depressive disorder due to chronic pain syndrome with MDD-like episode as they were already granted. The claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for plantar fasciitis was withdrawn. The claim for a compensable disability rating for corneal scar of the right eye was denied. All other issues related to service connection were remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board's decision is based on the procedural history and the evidence submitted by the Veteran.
