The Board has determined that a higher rating for the veteran's right ankle disorder is warranted prior to September 12, 1995. After this date, the evidence does not support a higher rating. The service connection for the right hip and right foot disorders was severed due to clear and unmistakable error in granting these conditions.
The deciding factor: The veteran's original grant of service connection for her right hip disorder was found to be clearly and unmistakably erroneous, leading to its severance from her record.
