Partly granted
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's right ankle disability and remanded the claim for service connection for generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran's right ankle dorsiflexion was less than 5 degrees or his plantar flexion less than 10 degrees at any time during the appeal period, and a separate compensable rating for ankle instability was not warranted.
