The Board granted a rating of 20 percent for residuals of recurrent right ankle sprain from December 10, 2007 and denied ratings higher than 10 percent for tinea versicolor.
The deciding factor: The evidence more nearly approximated marked limitation of motion in the right ankle after December 10, 2007, warranting a 20 percent rating. For the period prior to May 20, 2004, the criteria for a higher rating were met for tinea versicolor.
