The appeal for a rating in excess of 20 percent for right foot callouses was dismissed, while the other issues were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision to dismiss the appeal for a rating in excess of 20 percent for right foot callouses was based on the Veteran's withdrawal of the appeal. The other issues were remanded due to the need for additional evidence and medical examinations.
