The Board denied the veteran's increased rating claims for facial scars and residuals of fractured mandible, as there was no evidence showing severe disfigurement or malunion that would warrant a higher rating.

The Board granted an effective date of April 30, 2020, for the award of service connection for adjustment disorder with depressed mood and denied increased ratings for left foot cuneiform fracture, left lower extremity anterior tibial (deep peroneal) nerve impairment, and facial scars.

The Board has granted a 30 percent disability rating for the facial scar disability from December 19, 2012 to October 23, 2019. The appeal for higher ratings is denied.

The Veteran's claim for various equipment purchases and home modifications under the independent living plan through VA’s VR&E program is remanded due to incomplete documentation, lack of a Vocational Rehabilitation evaluation, and unavailability of certain records. The AOJ must ensure all relevant documents are obtained and associate them with the claims file.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased disability evaluations, finding that he is not entitled to a rating in excess of 30 percent for residuals of mandible fracture with temporomandibular joint dysfunction prior to June 14, 2005 and found no basis to grant a higher evaluation based on the current evidence.
