The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased evaluations for his service-connected residuals of plantar warts, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not show more than moderate impairment of either foot due to pain or flare-ups of pain, which would support a higher evaluation.
