Partly granted
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for right foot pes planus and granted a separate initial rating of 10 percent for right foot tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right foot pes planus did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but her right foot tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus was found to be moderate in severity and warranted a separate 10 percent rating.
