Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for ocular rosacea but denied an earlier effective date and a compensable rating for acne rosacea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's ocular rosacea was diagnosed on March 10, 2023, which is the earliest date entitlement arose. The evidence supports a 10 percent rating based on symptoms of burning, redness, and itching in both eyes that are relieved by medication.
