Partly granted
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the service-connected dermatitis and remanded claims for service connection, a rating for hypertension, and a combined evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's dermatitis did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the applicable regulations. The claims for postherpetic neuralgia, hypertension, and a combined evaluation were remanded to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
