Denied
The Board denied entitlement to a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's left foot disability, finding that the evidence did not support an actual loss of use of the left foot and that higher or separate ratings were not warranted under any other diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighed against finding that the Veteran had actual loss of use of his left foot at any time during the period on appeal, and no higher or separate ratings were warranted under applicable diagnostic codes.
