Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 20 percent disabling for right ankle tendonitis, but remanded the claims for a higher rating for migraines and TDIU due to service-connected migraines.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right ankle disability met the criteria for a 20 percent rating under both pre- and post-amendment criteria of Diagnostic Code 5271. The evidence did not support an extraschedular rating or higher ratings for other applicable codes.
