Skin Claims: Capture BSA Evidence with Timestamps Today
Skin claims win with proof: measure and upload your rash coverage today. Right now, take clear, timestamped photos of your skin condition during a flare. Use the “palm method” (your whole palm ~1% body surface area) to show how much is affected—include a ruler in frame. Write one short paragraph noting where, percent covered, dates/duration of flares, and meds (topical vs. systemic). Upload all to VA.gov under your claim as “Skin condition evidence.” If unsure on rating criteria, read the skin rating schedule on VA.gov.
