Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for right tarsal tunnel syndrome prior to May 8, 2025, and granted a 20 percent rating from that date. The other claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: The severity of the right tarsal tunnel syndrome was found to be mild before May 8, 2025, but moderate after that date, warranting a higher rating.
