Skin conditions (dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis) — all decisions

The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran did not timely file a Board Appeal request with respect to the rating decision issued on July 14, 2023.

The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, back and foot conditions, precluded him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.

The Board denied a compensable rating for seborrheic dermatitis with prurigo nodularis as the Veteran's skin disability involved less than five percent of his total body area and did not require treatment with systemic therapy.

The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and denied increased ratings for the Veteran's cervical spine, GAD with PDD, left knee, right knee, left shoulder, thoracolumbar, and migraine disabilities. The claims for service connection for acne or residuals of acne, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), chronic sinusitis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), respiratory insufficiency (dyspnea) were remanded.

The veteran withdrew the appeals for higher initial ratings for psoriasis, and these claims are dismissed.

The Board granted service connection for enlarged liver (fatty infiltration), benign prostate hypertrophy, and tinea versicolor as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected diabetes mellitus, type II.

The Board granted service connection for left foot fungal conditions to include dermatophytosis, onychomycosis and tinea pedis based on the evidence showing a current disability, in-service incurrence of the condition, and continuous symptoms since service.

The Board granted readjudication for the claims of service connection for left foot hallux valgus and tinea versicolor, but denied the claims for tinea corporis, tinea cruris, carbuncle, cyst, and scarring secondary to tinea versicolor.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for a low back disability, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), and glaucoma.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) as his service-connected disabilities, while severe, do not render him unable to obtain or maintain a gainful occupation.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, as the evidence did not support a compensable rating or service connection.

The Board granted a 30 percent initial disability rating for the removal of the uterus due to cervical dysplasia and awarded special monthly compensation based on anatomical loss of use of a creative organ.

The Board denied a compensable evaluation for pseudofolliculitis barbae, and denied ratings in excess of the current evaluations for left shoulder acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis and right knee strain with limitation of flexion and extension.

The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's passing during its pendency.

The Veteran's claim for specially adapted housing was denied as he does not meet the criteria due to his ability to independently ambulate with the use of braces.
