Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the left inguinal herniorrhaphy scar but denied a compensable rating for the left inguinal hernia and a 10 percent evaluation under 38 C.F.R. § 3.324 based on multiple, noncompensable service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's painful left inguinal herniorrhaphy scar warranted a 10 percent rating but denied a compensable rating for his left inguinal hernia due to its current status as not recurrent or readily reducible and did not require a truss or belt.
