The Board has granted a 10 percent disability evaluation for the appellant's service-connected residuals of right ankle fracture and denied his claims for service connection for lumbar spine, cervical spine, bilateral knee, and left ankle disorders.
The deciding factor: The RO provided an increased disability evaluation based on the current rating criteria but did not find sufficient evidence to support service connection for the claimed conditions.
