Denied
The Board denied the claim for a higher rating for the right leg surgical scar and denied service connection for left and right ankle disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's scars met the criteria for a higher rating, nor was there sufficient evidence to establish service connection for the claimed ankle disabilities.
