The Board has granted a 10 percent rating for the veteran's service-connected residuals of right leg injury, and denied an increased rating for his service-connected residuals of left leg injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed objective findings of muscular weakness in the lower limb for the right leg disability, warranting a 10% rating. The left leg disability was found to be manifested by subjective complaints only without any additional functional loss due to pain or other factors.
