The veteran's claim for restoration of a 60 percent disability rating for residuals of a stress fracture of the right femur is granted, effective December 1, 1992.
The deciding factor: The VA determined that the veteran's condition did not warrant an additional rating based on functional loss or other factors as it was already considered in the assigned disability rating.
