The Board has determined that the veteran's residuals of a right great toe injury warrant a 20 percent evaluation, which is higher than the current 10 percent rating. The evidence supports this increased rating.
The deciding factor: The VA examination findings and medical history supported the need for a higher evaluation based on the severity of the veteran's symptoms and functional impairment.
