Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for dermatitis, as the Veteran's skin disability approximated affecting 5 to 20 percent of his entire body or exposed areas and required constant or near-constant use of topical corticosteroids.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's skin disability more nearly approximates affecting 5 to 20 percent of the entire body or exposed areas, warranting a 10 percent rating, but not higher, as there was no evidence of systemic therapy required during the past 12-month period.
