Denied
The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 20 percent for the Veteran's left ankle strain, finding that the current level of impairment more closely approximated marked limitation of motion.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's left ankle condition did not warrant a higher rating based on the evidence showing moderate rather than marked limitation of motion.
