- Denied
The Veteran's combined evaluation for service-connected disabilities prior to November 5, 2018 was 90 percent. The appeal for a higher rating is denied.
- Granted
The Veteran's residuals of right tibial stress fracture resulted in moderate disability, warranting a 10% rating prior to December 18, 2013. From December 18, 2013, the disability was rated at 10%. The evidence did not meet criteria for higher ratings.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected right tibial stress fracture does not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation, as there is no objective evidence of current residuals or abnormal pathology.
