Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for left leg shortening based on measurements that did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's left leg shortening is at least 1.25 inches or 3.2 cm, and therefore does not warrant an increased rating.
