My brother had a rating to 10%. Watch out if you also have arthritis.

I think that they rate by the amount of skin covered and what meds you are using. Don't overlook annual clothing allowance if your meds are greasy ort stain your clothes.

Has anyone gotten psoriasis service connected? Where can I find the rating schedule for it?

I am service connected at 60 percent for the psoriasis, 90 percent overall. 60 percent is the highest and requires immunosuppressive therapy or being covered in psoriatic lesions.

It has to have been diagnosed when the veteran was in.
