The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the denial of service connection for residuals of a fractured pelvis. The claim for an increased rating for left foot condition diagnosed as thickened plantar fascia was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that there was clear and unmistakable error in the decision, and the criteria for an initial higher rating were not met.
