The Board has determined that the veteran's right foot disability, including his Morton's neuroma, is currently rated at 10 percent and was granted a rating increase from October 15, 1991. The case remains pending for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated moderate to severe impairment of the right great toe due to arthritis and partial fusion, which warranted a 20% evaluation since May 18, 1992.
