The Board found that the veteran's right great toe disability, while symptomatic and impacting his gait, did not warrant a higher rating as it was not clinically demonstrated to be more than moderate in degree. The current 10 percent rating is considered appropriate.
The deciding factor: The clinical evidence does not demonstrate any more severe impairment of the right great toe that would warrant an evaluation in excess of 10 percent under applicable rating criteria.
