The Veteran's increased rating for left foot plantar warts with keratomas is granted, while a higher rating for right foot plantar warts with keratomas is denied. The Board has also remanded cases regarding service connection and TDIU due to hip and knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The decision grants an increased rating of no more than 20 percent for the Veteran's left foot plantar warts with keratomas, but denies a higher rating for his right foot condition. The Board has also remanded cases regarding service connection and TDIU due to hip and knee disabilities.
