The Board has determined that service connection for residuals of amputations, second through fifth toes of the right foot is granted. The issue of entitlement to an increased (compensable) evaluation for residuals of fracture of the third toe of the right foot remains pending.
The deciding factor: The veteran's pre-service disability of the right toes was aggravated by service and contributed to the later amputation of the second through fifth toes of the right foot.
