The veteran is entitled to a 10 percent disability rating for the period from March 17, 1983 to August 18, 1989 and a 20 percent disability rating from August 18, 1989 to January 6, 2007.
The deciding factor: The veteran's service-connected right foot disability manifested symptoms analogous to not more than moderate malunion or nonunion of tarsal or metatarsal bones for the period from March 17, 1983 to August 18, 1989. For the period from August 18, 1989 to January 6, 2007, the disability did not manifest moderately severe malunion or nonunion of tarsal or metatarsal bones, or moderately severe residuals of foot injuries.
