Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 30 percent but no higher for right foot osteoarthritis and calcaneal spur from April 12, 2016 to April 9, 2021, but denied a higher rating from April 9, 2021.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's symptoms throughout the period on review warranted a 30 percent rating under DC 5284, but there was no evidence of actual loss of use of the foot to support a higher 40 percent rating.
