Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected bilateral arthritis of the tarsometatarsal joints was granted a single 10 percent rating prior to November 19, 2018. Since that date, higher ratings were denied for both feet.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support occasional incapacitating episodes or a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5003 after November 19, 2018.
