The Veteran's service-connected residuals of a fracture of the right femur are currently rated at 10 percent, effective June 5, 2003. The claim for an increased rating remains pending.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current disability does not meet or approximate criteria warranting a higher initial rating than 10 percent.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
