Granted
The Board granted a separate 20 percent rating for amputation of the 5th left toe and an initial 30 percent rating from May 10, 2017 to March 16, 2021 and from May 13, 2021 for left foot callous.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's symptoms approximated a level of severe impairment, warranting a higher rating under DC 5284.
