- Granted
The Veteran's residuals of right great toe fracture are manifested by no more than moderate symptoms and a rating in excess of 10 percent is not warranted.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including VA examinations to assess the severity of his service-connected disabilities.
- Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's claims for increased ratings for his right knee disability, residuals of a right great toe fracture, and allergic rhinitis are being remanded due to the need for additional VA medical records and information regarding private medical treatment.
