The veteran's claim for a higher rating for his left great toe disability was granted, with an effective date of November 13, 2006. The initial compensable rating prior to September 22, 1995 and the increased rating from September 22, 1995 to November 13, 2006 are both denied.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim was reopened on new evidence received after his previous denial in October 1984. The effective date of service connection for residuals of a fracture of the sesamoid bone of the left great toe is set at November 13, 2006.
