The Board has granted temporary 100 percent ratings for convalescence based on surgeries performed in November 2011 and October 2013, resulting from service-connected bilateral foot disability (other than pes planus), diagnosed as plantar fibromatosis, bilateral union deformities and callus sub fourth on the right.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's postoperative treatment reports showed that he required surgery necessitating at least one month of convalescence following his surgeries in November 2011 and October 2013.
