The veteran's left thigh myositis ossificans is currently productive of no more than moderate muscle impairment, warranting a 10 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The March 2004 VA examination showed no more severe impairment than the current 10 percent evaluation already assigned for the condition.

What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's left thigh myositis ossificans with quadriceps atrophy is a result of aggravation of his pre-existing condition, and thus service connection is granted.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the veteran's claims for PTSD, left thigh myositis ossificans, and special monthly pension due to need for regular aid and attendance or being permanently housebound. The RO must provide VCAA notice letters, verify stressors, schedule a VA examination, and obtain updated treatment records.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
