The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for eczema as the evidence did not show that his condition met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under the General Rating Formula for the Skin.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's eczema affected less than 5% of his total body area and none of his exposed areas, and he had no intermittent systemic therapy with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs required for a total duration of less than 6 weeks over the past 12 months.
