The Board has granted a 30 percent rating for the veteran's residuals of a right ankle fracture from February 14, 2003 through February 11, 2004.
The deciding factor: VA examination in February 2003 demonstrated chronic immobility and pain in the right ankle, warranting the next-higher 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5270.
