Granted
The Board granted a 20 percent disability rating for the Veteran's right ankle disability, finding that the symptoms more nearly approximated marked limitation of motion during flare-ups and when discounting the ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's right ankle disability symptoms more closely approximated marked limitation of motion than moderate limitation of motion, warranting a 20 percent rating under DC 5271.
