Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for scarring, status post lumbar laminectomy.
The deciding factor: The scars did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Codes 7802 and 7804 as they were neither unstable nor associated with underlying soft tissue damage, and their total area was less than 929 square centimeters.
