The VA determined that the veteran's right leg fracture warrants a rating of 30 percent, effective as of the date of the decision.
The deciding factor: The VA found that the veteran's symptoms and functional impairment more nearly approximated a severe level rather than a moderate or slight level for his right leg fracture.
