Partly granted
The Veteran's metatarsalgia (previously rated as capsulitis) was granted a 10 percent rating from June 11, 2012, to August 28, 2020, but an increased rating in excess of 10 percent was denied from August 28, 2020.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed moderate impairment of the toe from June 11, 2012, to August 28, 2020, and a 10 percent rating is the maximum schedular rating permitted for anterior, unilateral metatarsalgia starting from August 28, 2020.
