The Veteran's prostatitis is granted a rating of 40 percent, but no higher. The claims for increased ratings for left and right lower extremity neuropathy are dismissed, while the claims for service connection for toe amputations are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's urinary frequency symptoms support a 40 percent rating for prostatitis; however, there is no evidence of worsening during the one-year look-back period to warrant an increased rating. The claims for increased ratings for left and right lower extremity neuropathy were dismissed due to severance of service connection.
